It is hard to control the planes on time compression, but I only time compress it when I am at cruise Wink

Everything else is played at normal time such as turns, landings, takeoffs, ect.

Also your rank as a member at SimV depends on how many posts you make. After you make a certain amount of posts, then your rank goes up Grin

That's a nice aeroplane atotti! I know someone on here that has basically the same one, except the logo is a winged horse and yours in an eagle. Very nice Grin

I've been Around the world in a Meljet Boeing 777-300ER in 'World Tour' colors. From JFK towards ZUUU, refuel and back to US, landed in AK to refuel then JFK.
All around the equator!

I take off one morning, set it to autopilot, go to college, come back and play the radio in the plane onto track:
Aqua - Around the world

And let it fly til it gets low on fuel, even heading corrections had to be made due to deviation.
Around the world...Around the world...Around the world...

Wanna know how I got from JFK to ZUUU? Ditch the passgeners, only weigh yourself and add 10 to 20 lbs for personal supplies on board and put that in the payload, overload the fuel, this is my ticket to around the world Grin

thanks tsunami. I just like to customise my planes, especially my favourite. i really liked this colour scheme already so i only needed to slightly alter it.
notice St. Georges Flag on the tail! Cheesy

Nice stuff midnight.
You do know that you can use the GPS to program a whole route and then tell the autopilot to follow it.

I dream of the days when I have time for a RTW in a small prop. I would love to do it in my caravan.
I once flew from Kenya up to Germany with it, it took ages Tongue

Ever tried to do a GPS direct route from KJFK to ZUUU ?
It goes near the north pole and over it to the other side of the earth, since this way is shorter to save fuel.
But that's not what I wanted to do, I wanted to go around the equator where the heat is, no more winter for me.

No, to be honest the GPS is so complicated to use that I still havnt worked out exactly how to prgram it.

I do know that it can be programmed and that the autopilot when switched to NAV can follow the GPS.

To make a flight path appear on your GPS, push "WPT" then the cursor button at the bottom right side of the GPS. Then click the smaller arrow that points right and put in an airport code (EX: KSEA) Then push enter on the GPS twice to activate it. You should now have a red (or pink Grin

) line that will direct you to that airport. Then if you want autopilot to follow the path, turn on the NAV switch. You can find more info on GPS usage in the Learning Center Wink
