So I just figured, to kill some time, lets make plans for where I'm gonna fly to with our soon to be acquired -300ER. Because lets be honest, the B777-300ER is a magnificent aircraft both inside and outside. It deserves a proper world tour, as a tribute to its awesomeness. So chime in, take some time to figure out your own schedule, and share with this community. I have been keeping myself occupied with a world tour utilizing the even so magnificent B777-200LR version. Starting out at London Heathrow, I have found my way across the globe (a couple of times) in the last few months. Just a few days before the FIFA World Cup commenced, I parked the much loved 200LR on the tarmac of Sao Paulo intl airport for a much deserved rest. For the moment the 200LR will only be used for a 30min hop to Rio de Janeiro, which is were my world tour will switch aircraft, and continue the world tour as soon as the 300ER is released. My main concerns for designing the legs, were: - All the larger real-life B777 operators should be included; suggested source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_777_operators - Real-life operated B777-200 flights only. And from now on, only real-life -300ER flights; - Preference for high demand routes; - Real-life callsigns; flightaware.com, flightstats.com. Plenty of online sources to choose from. - Preference for airports with good quality airport add-on scenery (the ones I own, or am willing to invest in); - Minimize revisiting the same airport. Although some airport sceneries and/or tripple operators deserved a double visit; - NO fast forwarding for me. Just not my thing. This of course is just fyi. Of course it's up to you to make up your own rules for your world tour/flight routes. So, surprise, surprise. This leaves me with a LOT of options still. So there was still a lot of choices to be made. I ended up with a few revisits, and a few airports that I would have liked to add, but it just can't all be fit perfectly into one consecutive schedule. Here is what I came up with. Part I is the 200LR part which has kept me busy the last few months. Part II starts off as soon as the 300ER is downloaded and time allows. PART 1 - B777-200LR UAL931 EGLL-KSFO London Heatrow to San Francisco AAL24 KSFO-KJFK San Francisco to New York JFK CPA831 KJFK-VHHH New York JFK to Hong Kong ANZ80 VHHH-NZAA Hong Kong to Auckland ANZ2 NZAA-KLAX Auckland to Los Angeles DAL1754 KLAX-KATL Los Angeles to Atlanta DAL200 KATL-FAOR Atlanta to Johannesburg SIA479 FAOR-WSSS Johannesburg to Singapore JAL712 WSSS-RJAA Singapore to Tokyo Narita ACA4 RJAA-CYVR Tokyo Narita to Vancouver UAL490 CYVR-KDEN Vancouver to Denver UAL495 KDEN-KIAD Denver to Washington UAL861 KIAD-SBGR Washington to Sao Paulo UAL861 SBGR-SBGL Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro Which gives the following overview for part I: Map courtesy of gcmap.com Now comes the even crazier part in terms of time this will take me to finish. Oh well, gotta set goals, right? PART II - B777-300ER UAE248 SBGL-OMDB Rio de Janeiro to Dubai UAE121 OMDB-LTBA Dubai to Istanbul THY9 LTBA-KLAX Istanbul to Los Angeles VOZ24 KLAX-YMML Los Angeles to Melbourne THA462 YMML-VTBS Melbourne to Bangkok CPA750 VTBS-VHHH Bangkok to Hong Kong CPA890 VHHH-KEWR Hong Kong to Newark AIC144 KEWR-VABB Newark to Mumbai SIA423 VABB-WSSS Mumbai to Singapore SIA806 WSSS-ZBAA Singapore to Beijing CCA993 ZBAA-LFPG Beijing to Paris AFR682 LFPG-KATL Paris to Atlanta KAL36 KATL-RKSI Atlanta to Seoul KAL705 RKSI-RJAA Seoul to Tokyo Narita BAW6 RJAA-EGLL Tokyo Narita to London Heathrow Map courtesy of gcmap.com Hopefully I have inspired a few fellow lunatics to come up with some your own over-the-top world tour plans. But even if this isn't your thing and you're not going to participate, atleast I've kept you reading until this far, so: Congratulations, you're a couple of seconds less away from the highly anticipated release of SP1/300ER . Thanks for creating this awesome piece of flightsim-goodie PMDG-team!
