What is/was your longest flight in a row without a stopover in MSFS? I would be interested...🤔

Today was my longest  👇

I beat the one that i did from 20.04.2023 what was my longest..😎

 

cheers 😉

My goodness... Was that done in real time? Did you sit at the controls the entire flight? 

I am not a fan of long flights... One hour is on the edge already LOL My longest flight in MSFS so far was EHAM to ENGM. Don't even know how long it took but to me is was loooooong, haha!

Congrats on your achievement!

So what did you do in the meantime?

Clean your whole house, get a lot of e-mails done?

Cook a dinner for 40 people?

Read 10 books?

P.S. I like long flights also, I work allways when I fly at the same time at home!

Usually when I do such a long flight, I take off in the evening, go to sleep, then do the approach and landing the following morning 😇

Yes, about things like that, ( but not cooking dinner for 40 people ☺️ ) but i still look always at some time to the Sim, you know checking that all is OK and so on..

All my flights have flown with the normal timing, so no time compression, that's an important factor for me otherwise it would be a kind of fake and I don't like that.

This one, 18 hours, on a Cessna 172 full of jerricans and with nitro.

Im kidding of course, but this one is one of the longest real direct flights we can do, is made by Singapore Airlines.

I think longest I've done is Tokyo to Los Angeles, Aerosoft/Cependa DC-8-50 using INS.  That was about 4-5 years ago.

In MSFS...I flew the A310 from Lisbon to Rio / SBGL

Do you know what kind of plane was used ?

( 747, 787, or an Airbus, maybe the A380 ? )

The mighty Airbus A350 😉

 

 

I flew a Schleicher Ka 6 in real life for about 5.5 hours.

Does that count?

I'm afraid the older i get, the shorter my flights.

Nowadays even after a one hour flight i feel my back and neck hurt, no matter how good my chair is and no matter how i sit.

YMML-KLAX in the B748 14+hours.  Did the real flight in an A380 out and B744 back in 2018.

As was said earlier, I'm getting too old to do long flights, so my longest MSFS is like 3 hours max.  Now, about 15 years ago, in FS9, I did a Chicago to Beijing in the Level-D 767 (Gosh I loved that plane).  I think that's the longest I've ever done.

What in flight simulation is worth my time (not counting that, in the long run, it is cheaper and healthier than to go to the pub) ? 

- the complexity and risks of the flying transitions ie takeoff and the approach landing. The higher is the ratio of these two segments over the duration of the whole flight, the better.

- what about the cruise ? Boring ? Nope. Weather can make it of course challenging, including in MSFS the effect of the relief on the stability of the aircraft if you fly low enough. And  MSFS also brings an interesting overview of the relief and how nature and humankind modeled the landscape.

Flying 12 hours over the oceans/cloud cover at FL370 while mowing my lawn defeats all these purposes. One-hour flights are enough for me, TYVM.
