DAVIDSTRAKA Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Leaving out early morning About an hour to destination, I found out the range of the A 321 is what I thought. (FS unlimited fuel option saves the day) Approach and Landing Reported 200' overcast, very limited visibility.

DAVIDSTRAKA Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Ah! It was a Airbus fuel-test flight :):) On the other hand, that foggy approach is great! Big time fuel test flight! I finally took a look at the range of the A-321, 3,697 miles (5,950 km). Air miles from San Diego, CA to Portland, Maine 3,149 miles (5,068 km) I figure at 33,000 ft at normal cruise and a tailwind for most of the flight, I should have arrived with enough to spare. Granted I don't have the performance charts for an A-321 to see based on all the factors (included weight) what the actual range for those conditions would be. It was a fun flight and fun approach anyway!

flightsimg Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It's just a question of trying! :):) One makes changes by increments and one checks how that works. And above all, always make a backup copy of the aircraft.cfg file, and work with a copy. That allows to be back to something working, in case when Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

Rupert Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Great shots and an epic flight!! And yes, were it not for the "simulation" part of flight simming, neither Jan nor I would still be alive today!! Fuel? Who needs fuel!!?? Just hit the unlimited button. :rolleyes: Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
