andyjohnston Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 My plan had been to go from Mountain Top all the way to Eareckson, but I didn't have enough fuel. Which doesn't bode well for crossing the Pacific. Unalaska was along my flight plan so I dropped down there to negotiate for some jet juice. Spent way too much time using these sims...

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 As you mentioned in another thread, my Raptor is much more impressive ;) You can see mine here in FSX. For some reason the replay stutters. This is a customized cockpit with real jet engine sounds taken from a Mitsubishi something or other and I added the GPWS. From time to time you'll hear me break the sound barrier. Instead of going West you should have went East to have the jet stream on your tail. This is how I fly around the world. I go to the eastern seaboard somewhere and head up to Maine then Newfoundland and that area, then to Greenland, Iceland, Scotland or Ireland, down to London, all of Europe and on my way to some "*stan" county, Nepal, Asia, I then island hop along the pacific to Hawaii. From Hawaii to California is where I have to cheat with the fuel. I have a refuel button in my cockpit and I just pretend a KC-135 topped me off. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

andyjohnston Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 From there, I used the Moving Map display to fly manually up into the mountains and find Lukla. The landing wasn't super pretty, but I made it down. Spent way too much time using these sims...

longbreak754 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hi Andy... Great pics... Could your fuel problems be down to carrying a little extra weight - not accusing you of anything but somebody seems to have nicked the wheels of the truck parked next to fuel pump at Telluride Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjohnston Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 From Lukla I lifted off and powered right up to 65,000 feet to glide down to Katmandu. I've been going since leaving JFK, and the sun is finally starting to go down, so I think I'll find myself a nice hotel room to spend the sim night. Spent way too much time using these sims...

andyjohnston Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Thanks for your comments Brian. This aircraft can burn through an entire load of fuel in just a few minutes if running all out. As for the truck, Telluride is a pretty bad neighbourhood. Spent way too much time using these sims...

andyjohnston Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Coming down the valley into Narsarsaq I don't know why I do these around the world trips.
