A Cessna 182 would be able to do what you want.

It certainly looks like it, it also depends on the weight of the crew not being over 170lbs each on whether full fuel can be carried.

X-Plane could be another to look at.

If I were you I wouldn't bother with FSX, go for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), you will need Windows 10 or 11 though.

Also how can take-off speed be lower than stall speed if stall speed is between 65Kts (With flaps) and 83Kts (Clean).

I agree, it's not good to leave gaps between lessons, when I learned to fly I did an intense coarse and went solo after only 15 hours instruction, mind you having a father that was a pilot was a big help having flown with him since I was knee high to a grasshopper!

Contrails/vapour trails are not always visible, they depend on the atmospheric conditions to be just right to produce them.

Found this photo online.

 

There is one in development which will be freeware, more info here.

The MU-2 is a high performance aircraft, but it has an abysmal safety record with 183 accidents which represents 26% of the aircrafts production!

 

 

 

Eliminated Center 2 and Center 3 fuel tanks, 16,685 gals in fuel X 6.7 = 111,789.50 Lbs (a flying refinery I tell you???}

 

 

 

 

Bit off piste, that fuel load is nothing compared to the 559,937 lb of fuel an A380 carries!

I tbink this post has wandered off the original posters question?

Really nice pics and the reason the soil is red is because it is rich in iron oxides.

Production of the passenger version has ended and the way covid has affected the travel industry, I would think that demand for such large airliners will be low, so there will be quite a few A380's surplus to requirements coming on the market, so a freighter conversion looks like a good possibility.

I didn’t realise that. Maybe he can get hold of an RTX3090 for me 😀

There's one for sale in the CeX (Complete Entertainment Exchange) store in Gloucester UK for only £2600!

MSFS is heavily bound to single-thread CPU performance

 

Deja vu FSX!

I would have thought MSFS would be multi core capable.

Have you tried the C310 by Brett Henderson & Alejandro Rojas Lucena available to download from simviation.com, scroll down this page to find it.

it just stuns me that a prop can go this high

as a normal cruise

 

If you think the TBM 930 performance is impressive for a prop aircraft then you should look at the performance figures for the Piper Cheyenne 400LS, over 400mph top speed and cruises at 41,000ft, It can also climb directly to FL 410 at MTOW.

MSFS relies on an internet connection, turning off antivirus is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN... lets have less crazy talk lol

 

He's using Prepar3d.

Sorry missed your post:o.

Divide Statute miles per hour (MPH) by 1.15 and you will get nautical miles per hour (Knots).

With the Ever Given cargo ship blocking the Suez canal will probably not help the supply of graphic cards from the far east reaching europe.

Could try https://www.planespotters.net/airline/Federal-Express also.

Glad you got it sorted.

Take a look at this.
