I flew part of Earhart's route and made a profound study of her accomplishments using FS2k2 but have not revisited the matter lately.

okay found the route.

just a few problems ???

1, Still no suitable aircraft for FS2004 not enough fuel, but there is a FS2002 one.
2, I just need to sort out how to get the error message about the thing not to look for my orginal docs folder when i try it in anyone else's computer, (the Microsoft Adventure Basic Language, SDK Will help sort that)
Just kneed to read it first.
Then understand it, may take a while.

Well first no aircraft has enough fuel to go all the way around in one hop, nobody can do it, thats why she landed at airports to refuel, get food, ect. You do it in parts. FS9 has part of her route and its made for a few days of travel. Good luck with the venture. The farthest i ever made it around the world was lax to japan, then i gave up due to a sucky computer Tongue
