Jumping ahead in flight (Read 301 times)

Hi,
Newbie here, is there a way to jump ahead in flight? ie. If you were to fly from one city to another and it was, lets say 2000nm, in real time it could take about 4 hours. If you were to use the simulation rate to speed it up like I have tried, then you lose the IFR flight plan because you haven't responded to ATC requests. So how do you jump to say 100 miles out when you would start your decent and ATC starts giving you approach instructions.
Thanks,
Eric

You could use Map view and just put the aircraft where you want it, at whatever altitude. Then carry on from there or save it as a separate flight. You'd lose the plan again, but it would basically work.

But... why? Dontcha like flying? Wink

When ATC switches you to the next frequency, don't contact them. Call them when you're ready for decent. You don't lose the IFR that way. Wink

Thanks, just tried that and it works. Yes I love to fly, for real and on the sim but truly just would like to take-off and climb to altitude and then jump to the decent and land, just on flights longer than an hour.
Thanks again, Eric
