Long Haul Flights
EHM-0079 Simão:
I like to do some long flights when i need to put the "read on day" :> I choose a nice flight, pick the tristar and enjoy the next 5 hours reading an responding to ATC from IVAO, or to the automated from game.
But usually i prefer flights from 1 hour +/- becouse they give me more the feeling of flying and be "an pilot" :)
Safe landings!

I don't fly many long haul flights (indeed, I'm still working my way back up to the really big birds) but when I've got a late night of working or a long day at home I do quite enjoy going for one of these flights. If I fly it I prefer to fly without time compression and get a feel for the whole flight. If time is pressing then time compression is a great tool and I see no problem in using it to get to the hands on part of the flight.

I remember a topic 1 year ago about time compression, and in my opinion time compression is really bad idea!! Real pilot´s don´t "use it"... right?! So if we wanna FS to be as realistic as possible time compression isn´t the answer...
Just my opinion...
Safe landings,

By the same argument Turista we would have to say real pilots don't take to the air without proper training. EHM has avoided the overbearing regulations of some VAs who demand a flight video as a test. I think whilst we all get hooked into the whole 'simulation - not a game' thing we have to admit this is a pasttime and to get the buzz we cut corners. Even those of us who use charts for approach and departure probably don't take the time flight planning that would be the case int he real world - reason - we want the buzz of flying. I think its the same with time compression. To get the buzz of the take off and landing, time comp. is almost a necessity for many people who want to fly big iron.

I dont know if many people knew this, but in long haul flights, theres a pilot called the relief pilot. They take control of the plane for some time. Heres a link to an emaple...Here
