ProPilot Event is almost ready ;)

EHM-1883 Matt:
I know, it does sound weird, and I know my physics, I think:o

But, all I can say is, I didn't use time accelaration, I didn't use a concorde, and here is the flight:

Some people there have got 5 hours!

This could be the EHM mystery, which is weird, since I'm flying right now, and I worked out that it's 3000nm long, and the speed I'm flying at, I should arrive at about the same ETA:o

EHM-0695 Scott:
Dude New York to London is not 6,000 nm

It is definitely feasible with the jetstream winds for aircraft to cruise at over 600 knots *groundspeed* .... the true airspeed may only be 490 knots... but with at 110 knot tailwind (very possible - and lately I've been getting upper wind readings of 130+ knots) you got 600 knots. Look up a recent flight westbound over the pond ... I bet it took 8 hours or more with a nasty headwind.

EHM-1612 Paolo:
6000nm is close to Heathrow to Changi (5879nm), I did Changi to Frankfurt on 15th January and I spent 13hours...on a 747-400, so I think the total time is around 14 hours in real life.

This is it in FS

EHM-1883 Matt:
ah, it's because of Routefinder. Routefinder said it's 6000nm, but I forgot about the waypoints:{ Sorry everyone:$
