Kelburn's Round the world tour

[VH-CC1]

not picking or anything like that, but why go round the world on 4x/16x speed?

Because its so freakin' boring at normal speed.. Who is really going to sit at their comp for 16 hours straight? It's not as if you're missing anything, the scenery on fs2002's not anywhere near real life

Mike and i have flown 80/90hrs, from NZ to somewhere near hong kong on normal speed. ( the true FS'er coming out )

[creator2003]

And a simulator that does is...?

fsx now has some ships going past ?
nice water but that is all there is to it in the end and 2m photo real
80-90 hours yes but we did that in GA not a bus ,if i was in a bus id be speeding up the boaring times too,, the best thing is landing them
st maartens great place very cool landings over the water ,all we gotta do is put a beach at the end of nzaa and welly and we have our own st maartens
kelburn if not a map a nzaa -yssy -??? would be cool ..
would be cool to have a round the world flight with all the nzff members online fsx fs9 fs2002 all together on one huge flight
anyway see you at the next airport kel

I would never fly a trip longer than 30min without going 16x I use 8x to go to hamilton from auckland. Not that keen watching fake scenery go past. All the straight flying is for real flying.

How did you survive?

[VH-CC1]

easy. flights ranged from 1 to 12hrs each leg

[G-HEVN]

126 hours, Oxford to Oxford, at normal speed...

30 hours (so far) Back to Blighty, at normal speed... (okay, I will admit going shopping during the Christchurch-McMurdo leg, but I was technically a passenger )

I dunno, young people today... no stamina!


16x on a 30 minute flight? Where do you find the time?

[victor_alpha_charlie]

easy. flights ranged from 1 to 12hrs each leg

so that means some legs must have been near on 12 hours? Where do you get the time?

[scon]

Longest I have ever done is 3hr NZAA-YSSY otherwise 4X or 8X

[benwynn]

Wow Really!! I never fly on More than Normal Rate- Even long hauls NZAA-KLAX! I quite often leave PMDG running overnight on some tho

weekends, mornings, nights.

St Maarten to Rio De Janeiro


Taxiing to runway,


There's that famous fence!


Turning onto track


On final approach


Braking!


Again, slowing down


There's those mighty reverser's

Had a long taxi to the gate then shut down waiting for my next flight.
(Hint Rio to S.A.)

Some cool screenies- is that the Meljet 777?

Just for the record, Im a 1x simmer through and through. Everyone is different, but I personally get a great deal of satisfaction after landing either a small prop or large jet after a long flight in the sim

I'd reccomend for long flights that you just take the plane off configure for climb and use the direct GPS thing. Go away and do something for a few hours and come back. I used to do longhaul flights between the USA and NZ.

But as the earth curves, you will find yourself heading miles of course on your original heading.

I prefer flying VOR to VOR, with ATC adjusting my heading slightly every now and then.

[creator2003]

Yeah im using the gps less and less these days just get a heading and fly there ,sometimes its good to have it going if say you go out for awhile ,as i really only do long haul flights online with buddys i sit it out chatting with them next thing you know you are at the next stop over ,i recomend it
sweet flight so far

[scon]

I just go high Alt airways select GPS on the panel and hit nae and if flys by it's self,

that is if I am using default aircraft other wise I use L-nav

[ZKTOM]

Do you have any more screenies over Rio?

Yay 150th Post

[Duckman]

Was enjoying watching this trip, but what's happened? Too boring for you to finish or something? It's certainly been a while since the last leg.

[Kelburn]

We'll I'm in Heathrow but I got a bit off-track also I hit a bug coming across Africa where the world suddenly turns blue and there's no scenery so yeah. I do have some screenies but am too lazy to upload them
