Along the Rio Doce from SNCP to SNCX.
First time landing this aircraft.
This was exhausting
Hi did someone managed to do the 33:30hrs flight from NY to Paris? I was doing some tests with this plane, and I can not achieve the speed that should be around 110mph to make that distance in that time, I can not pass 85mph in any altitude and engine power/mixture combination that does not burn more fuel than what I have for the trip, so if for the trip there is not a huge tailwind of over 30mph I have no idea how you can make it.
The best I got is at around 1.850RPMs at 9.000ft with mixture lever between 5 and 6, that configuration gets me a ground speed of 85mph with fuel for 42hrs, and at that speed the trip will take a bit over 41hrs.
So, I can not find a way of doing it in less time. Cheers
Just did a very similar flight from Calverton Executive to Le Mans without issue on Vatsim and with live weather. Westerly winds helped a lot and ground speed was approximately 120-130 knots over large portions of the route. The flight took over 26hours 20 minutes to complete.
Route distance was aproximately 3100 nm. Used 345 gallons (1300 liters) of fuel.
Completed most of the flight at an altitude of 5000 feet with mixture set between 4.5 to 5.5 and RPM between 1950 and 2050.
