April 8, 20233 yr 737 BBJ 1 out-ranges A310 and 767-300ER. 6000+ nm range & 12+ hrs endurance? all I really “need” beyond that is PMDGs 747-8i Edited April 8, 20233 yr by UrgentSiesta

April 9, 20233 yr I've hid posts that talk about other simulators. No reason for that here. This thread is about long haul airplanes in msfs. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
April 9, 20233 yr The title of this thread is both misleading and wrong. 1. 787 Heavy Division Mod 2. 747 Salty's Mod both should tide you over until something more in depth (possibly AAU2 for the 787) comes (or, rather, flies) along. As others have said, the BBJ and the A310 and the A320Neo can also do "medium" long haul.
April 9, 20233 yr You have to wonder how in a hurry developers are to devote time to long haul planes when most simmers just want to do 1-2 hour hops domestically from pretty airport to pretty airport. Not saying there's anything wrong with long haul in a sim, but it's a niche within a niche.

Not saying there's anything wrong with long haul in a sim, but it's a niche within a niche. It's a bigger niche than you think it is. I'm not a huge long haul guy personally. But many others are. Not to mention the people who still operate long haul planes on short haul routes.

My guess is that most of the long haulers, start a flight on autopilot, then go shopping, or watch a couple of movies, or go to bed, set the sim to pause at top of descent, return to the PC 8 hours later and land. I just don't get it??
