I wanted to fly from Düsseldorf to New York in Realtime. Maximum Grossweight and Fuel.
The default A320 only consumes 800 KG/H ?? (Cruiselevel 350). I cancelled the flight over Dublin anyway.

Google says 2200 to 2500 KG/H for the real A320.

well let me first point out that the in-game a320 is a Neo or New Engine Option

It’s one of the more fuel efficient engines. Burn will be lower. As far as accuracy, i couldn’t tell you

But there is absolutely no way any kind of a320 is going to get from Germany to New York without stopping, especially with max weight and fuel.

Maybe

The first A320neo rolled out of the Airbus factory in Toulouse on 1 July 2014.[90] It first flew on 25 September 2014.[91] A joint type certification from EASA and the FAA was received on 24 November 2015.[92] Nearly 28 years after the first A320, on 25 January 2016, the A320neo entered service with Lufthansa, the type’s launch customer.[1] It has a range of 6,300 km (3,400 nmi; 3,900 mi).[93]

You might be able to fly an A320 from EDDL to KJFK depending on several factors. The most important is how much reserve fuel is needed. According to MSFS, the a320 range is 3,500 nm. The distance between the two airports is 3,472 nm allowing 28 nm for reserve. The weather is a huge factor especially the jet stream. Performance has to be adjusted for maximum fuel economy during climb and descent.

There are two LVFR A319s (-CFM, -CJ IAE) with a larger fuel capacity configured for business travel, not passenger. They would be able to make this flight and much further.
