The time has come, ive decided to do a few tours for those of us who are "Commerical addictive".
Flying Short - Medium Routes, 737 - 767, we will cover large distances!

This is only in the VERY early stage, but look out for intial information on this tour on the 21st Feb.

The "HIGH FLYERS CLUB" will be a "Beta" tour, so ideas will be tried, and if the first few tours are successful, the HIGH FLYERS CLUB will begin, with flights operating weekly.

Many thanks for looking, and PLEASE advance on the comments, remember, without your feedback - i'm only planning MY tours!.

James - Jimbo's Tours

PS: GA flying, will ALWAYS be my MAIN Priority... This is just an idea!!

Considering there are plenty people here who fly big stuff, your idea might catch on. You won't see me up there though. Well maybe just to slow things down with my Piper Cub. Flying circuits around the airfield. Really slow......

PS only joking ofcourse. Sounds like a great plan, Jimbo.

Do'nt loose heart Jimbo, start it & people will come to have a look, if not hrs long trips I will have a go.

From A to B, economical Jet flt.planning is made so that TOC is at a FL that coincides with TOD (or with shortest cruise possible), reaching a height in the first waypoint of STARS & land at B.

p.e. If A to B is 200nm, climb to a FL that covers 100nm, close the throttles & descent to reach the first STAR alt, say 5000', covering 75nm (height to loose 25th.ft x3=75), leaving 25nm for approach & land at B.

Pressurised jets descend at 3-4000fpm.

These calculations were taken out of performance graphs in the flt.manual before each flight by the crew, but nowadays Ops hands you a hard copy of the computerised flt.plan, which in turn you bring up in the FMS by keying the icao codes of A & B !.

Let's have a go.

Hi Luke.

Many thanks for your interest.

What you suggested may sound a wee bit advanced for some users, i'm an FMS geek, and i keep on top of it, but what i had in mind is VERY similar to what i have now, List the Waypoints (GPS DIRECT), the MAP, Suggest a cruising altitude, and cruising Speed.

My new tours are all about LEARNING, and this method of vague planning will allow the users (you lot) to plan your OWN flights with my proprietry imformation.

It may not sound "Good" at the moment, but believe me, this level of tuition will get everyone flying at their own pace and management skills.

From your OWN opinion to another, there are JUST as many Commercial Simulation fans as there are general aviation. People like different things Paul, which i what im trying to determine - create tours for the best of both worlds.

Management Skills - there are ALOT OF SKILLS involved in planning, maintaining, and controlling a commercial jet. The MANAGEMENT skills YOU learn from these commercial tours can be easily put into any other simulation flights, as well as practical in general life.

Remember, commercialised jets are the future, and arn't going anywhere.

DO IT! DO IT! Perhaps, since there are only 3 big jets that come with the game, and they are all Boeings, we should have people post some download links for everyone to DL and check out. On a side note, what is the best 727 to DL? I really want to fly one, but I want the best possible, with autopilot settings and almost every feature in there; virtual cockpit preferred, but it's okay if it doesn't have it.

Don't let worries kill you, let the church help&&A 747 is just traveling; A Piper Cub, now THAT'S flying!

No beef with big jets per se, but a tour in the FLs just doesn't seem very... I dunno... friendly. Chances are good you'll never catch sight of each other for more than a few minutes on such a tour... I mean, if piloting heavy jets in FS is supposed to be "just like the pros do it", you can't be forming up and sporting around... minimum legal spacings... IFR plans and clearances... yadda yadda.

Or maybe it will be more casual? Might be more fun, but if these flights are anything as chaotic as the usual bug-smasher get-togethers, just lining up to take off will be verrry interesting indeed. Cheesy

Cheesy

I think the best way to share the airline-pilot experience in MSFS would be to have the ability to put multiple players in the same plane, as a crew... that would be pretty cool.

But I might come along on one of these tours, if I can bring a fighter. Grin

Or I could be cajoled into joining with the VC-10; all you big-iron drivers should try Maltby's terrific model if you haven't already.
That would be fun: a flight of all VC-10s, with a short-field-landing comp at the end. Grin

I've no idea what sort of speeds and heights Commercial Passenger Jets fly at, but I would imagine that even my new Tucano Turbine Prop RAF Trainer* would have a hard time keeping up, constantly flat out at 300 knots... Shocked

What sort of heights and speeds would be involved in the flights...?
