First time doing a “long” flight, in any flight sim. Timed up perfectly from start to finish and a few nice views along the way. No particularly planned out route; just wanted to take a shot across the country and see what I found along the way.
Three fueling stops. They were all as brief as I could make them since I had to go back downstairs and back to work! But still, takes a little time to land, taxi, find the fueling thing, taxi back out, screw around with the G530 and try to remember how to change something.
Real time I started ~630am and ended ~930pm. Actual flight time was a bit over 13 hours I think.
Thanks for posting. I’ve got a five hour flight coming up to rescue one of my pilots that’s out of jet fuel at a small airport in Saskatchewan. I could hire a pilot and plane to ferry some fuel to her but since I’ve got realistic scenery to enjoy I’ll do it myself. And in case anyone’s thinking I’m talking about FSEconomy it’s actually OnAir Airline Manager I’m using. Not free but waaaay better.
I really need to check out OnAir. FSEconomy is so clunky, and DOS-ish. Not to mention, it’s run by a handful of cranky old men who are resistant to change in their little fifedom. I mean, FSE allows made up airports, and old airports that are closed…
Well OnAir is subscription based so many will reject it out of hand due to that. And yeah, if paid by the month it’s pricey; like around $15 per month BUT they offer six month, one year, and two year deals. Two years pre-paid works out to $3 or $4 per month.
Considering how much better it is than FSEconomy, FSE will have to change I think, or lose members in droves.
There’s a one week trial AND under one account you could have a company on each of the three servers: easy, hard, and harder - actually called Cumulus, Stratus, and Thunder.
