Please, someone inform me,
 we do not use the propilot!
We report flight as Murray did?
If is like so, we do not need to go to WSSS as I did.

Murray is just posting his planning information for his own use.

You need to be at WSSS and you need to use flogger, please see my reply to your other post.

TBH, I'm posting my planning for anyone that needs it (still plenty of pilots at WSSS...).

And FYI re: the first leg, those of you in the FSX 850/200, if you 100% the two tanks you'll have approx quarter of each tank when you get to Chennai (weather allowing, o'course).

Hoo boy I am currently FL340 at 260 KIAS/GS 446 kts with 8400 lbs of fuel left in the tanks and 586NM to go following a hi-altitude airways plan in the FSX Challenger. As Murray mentions I should be landing with around a quarter tank left in each wing but I probably should have researched the 850's fuel consumption rates as I burned through a ton of fuel during climb and got a little nervous  ;D.

I think I am comfortable with the burn rate now and might even risk a bit more speed as the cruise burn is less that initially anticipated; however, not much wind during the flight (currently 085 degrees at 7 kts lol). A nasty headwind would have made this hop a LOT more exciting!

1 hour to go...
