Longest flight anybody has ever had is probably an around the world fight. I'm trying to attempt it myself.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

i forgot to pause it one, and ended up doing 21 hour flight, left my computer on overnight.
intentional would only be about 7hours or something

Probably about 3 hours, I fly fighters so I don't stay up to long. I get bored flying from Valley to Leuchars unless I'm at 250' or less and 450 knots+ and that only takes about 50 minutes Roll Eyes

Longest bus ride would be roughly 2.5 hours, Glasgow to Palma de Majorca, I've only done this twice Tongue

i keep FS running on a constant flight, that is resumed when i load the game (usually landed) so i probably have a few hundreds of hours Grin

but on a single run, i'd say 12 hours, flight time from Sao Paulo to Amsterdam on a 747

Even longer than the LAX-YMML or LAX-YSSY flights? I am assuming YBBN is Brisbane?

8 hours. Heathrow to JFK. However, I just took her up to cruise hight and speed, whacked the auto pilot on and buggered off. Checking every hour or so to make sure i was still on course. Flying made easy. Grin

KLAX to YSSY (and back eventually) which usually takes anywhere between 12.5 and 13.5 hours to complete. I get up at 6:30 in order to do it all in one day! and for people who have done the around the world trip, what is the longest LEG of the trip?
