The Asobo B78X has a terrible bug related to fuel consumption, which makes it sometimes consume far less fuel than it’s intended. Let’s see how far it can go around the globe heading 90º at 30ºN with a full tank of fuel! I’ve tried to let it cruise like this twice, one for nearly 4 days and another for about 8 days. However, some bugs (probably intentionally designed) in the sim rolled back the flight time on my pilot license.
I’ve set up a livestream this time. Go check it out!
I’ll have a look again when it’s daylight 
Crew getting overtime pay?
Surprise! it’s a crewless flight! The captain jumped off the plane after setting it all up! The stream popped for some reason. I just set it up again but it’s still nighttime there above the ocean.

It’s not the most exciting live stream I’ve ever seen

A bug, in MSFS? I’m sorry but I find this very hard to believe.
Are you sure it isn’t a bug in the actual aircraft that causes it to use more fuel than expected? I would contact Boeing with your findings.

Do it asap! We’ll have the most environmentally friendly way of travel once they fix it! Till now, 17h of flight has cost only 1% of the fuel.

So it’s basically the movie sequel Unstoppable 2 - Sky High…
Thanks for informing me the crash! I’m surprised it crashed so early. It’s definitely not due to depleted fuel. Maybe some dramatic change in The live weather tore of the aircraft apart.
What did Boeing say?
Let’s put Boeing aside and appreciate the fact that Microsoft rolled back my flight time once again. I restarted the game and found my flight time back to 595 hours from 623 hours. And my logbook the previous fight was absolutely ZERO minutes. I guess they do have a way to recognise unreasonably lengthy flights and remove it at the next launch.
Agree, I watched for about 4 seconds.
I also noticed that the 787-10 consumes much less fuel than what’s indicated on the World Map. What I do is simply load less fuel, around half of what the World Map tells me would be needed. Not a big deal. I wish we didn’t have more serious issues in the sim.
