August 11, 20232 yr Calling vets who could throw a few suggestions into the hat. Free or payware, what ships have the longest range? Civvies at the front of the queue. radials or inline. I'm visualising DC3's or maybe Ventura variants only because they're the ones I have already. I vaguely remember the DG dh98 has some legs as well. Any ideas?? PS this should be a FSXSE forum???
August 12, 20232 yr The Cessna 404 Titan was a twin piston with a very long range, about 2000 statute miles when packed with fuel, but it did not have radial or V-engines. For a twin radial, yes, the Lockheed Ventura did have long legs. With ferry tanks, it could fly up to a quoted 2600 sm. The Douglas A-26 Invader could make 3000 sm with ferry tanks.

Not used a Titan. Will give one a try. Thanks 🙂

August 13, 20232 yr I'm a big fan of the Aerosoft PBY-6 Catalina. Beautiful plane with many land and water options.
