Long Range Commercial Airline Flights
Hello,
What has been your longest flight ever flown on a simulator? Please specify which simulator you used. Here is my personal record (quite low): X-Plane v8 Boeing 747-400 United 5 hour and a half flight over the Atlantic Ocean

I tried an SFO-SYD but got lost somewhere off the coast of Mexico......does that count?

Were you flying everything by hand?!! What simulator did you use? Anyway, I guess it does count. Do you remember how long the flight time was from SFO to SIM (Somewhere in Mexico) ![]()

Sometimes though, it is more interessting than watching the plane fly itself. My flight accros the Atlantic was nearly (NOT) perfect. I took of at a regonal airport in Burlington, with tailstrike ![]() Over the Atlantic, engine 3 died because of low fuel pressure...! Still made it in one piece though!

Nice.....I landed a 737 at my local general aviation airport yesterday and I came about 20 ft. from the end of the runway. The Taipei to Hong Kong sector is fun, especially if you are trying to land at the old airport.

A year or so ago a Boeing 777 flew from Hong Kong to London Heathrow, Westbound round the world. Non stop.
11000 something miles in 23 hours. I have done this on Flight Sim 9 using the PSS 777 and using the FMS. It took me 23 hours 37 minutes But I must admit I did sleep a few hours while it was flying |

Hey! I can't believe this thread is still here :P
Now I have flown about 25 KLAX-EGLL and KLAX-NZAA flights (over the past 2 years). Quite better than my original. I'm on my way.. should be starting ground school in Jan. and flying for the PPL next summer.
