Fair enough a good route would be RJAA to ZSPD tho due to good 3rd party airports and nice scenery (Mt Fuji)/weather to fly around. I'm more interested in the MAX myself I'm sure you're the same?

June 17, 20241 yr Great news, gonna start reading all Razzo's posts from the last 1 year, should finish by the 25th (looks at watch) Crikey, better get started!!
June 17, 20241 yr According to Mathjis the 777 will come with a Special Time Compression for those who don’t want to do long flights.

Also: https://simpleflying.com/shortest-boeing-777-flights-guide/ A surprising number of 1, 2, and 3 hour flights! Just goes to show it's really about moving lots of bodies and not always about moving them long haul. All I really care about for routes is whether the runways are long enough 😃 But there's quite a few good ideas in here I wouldn't have otherwise thought of. Gonna dig in...

PMDG has long had the best auto time compression system, generally reverting to 1x time compression for turns or other things that could make the aircraft unstable. Even if they just use the same one in the 737, it can reliably make very long flights quote short. This is one thing I wish all other devs would take and implement in their own aircraft (especially looking at you INI Builds!). I've never had a PMDG flight fail (ie fall out of the sky or otherwise crash) due to using the auto time compression system.

June 17, 20241 yr Any body read or heard if the CDU can be connected to a tablet (ala FBW A320) which makes entering data into the CDU easy?

June 17, 20241 yr Maybe if there's a BBJ version I'll bite.

Thats exactly the benefit of a flightsim, not to waste time with long flights but condense them to the interesting phases with time compression. ☝️ Or do you think, real pilots do 10 hour flights in the airlines training sims? 😄 Regards, Jan Ast Win 11 PC | Ryzen 7800 X3D | RTX 5080 | LG 42 C2 Cockpit 😉 | TrackIR 5 | Octavia IFR-1 | Virpil Alpha on WarBRD, Virpil CM3 Throttle, Virpil Sharka Control Panel | Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo | TM TPM Rudder

Makes no sense not to me anyways. I'd rather fly flights from KLAX to KLAS or EGLL to EGCC rather than doing a 10hr flight at warp 4 speed. That is a fake of a long haul anyone could imagine.
