okay.
Howard hughes flew the H-1 from Los Angeles to New York in about 7.5 hours.
I have acquired the Aerosoft H-1 (one of the best payware planes) and I am going to try and beat him, im taking the exact same route, and I am going to use Dead Reckoning, just like he did.

Lets hear some support!
Who wants screenies?

SH427:yeah:

This reminds me of Kapitans attempts to sail around Great Britain, which almost inevitably wound up with him sinking the Knock Nevis in some way and creating the worlds worst environmental catastrophe.

So, yeah, I want to see you blow up the engine :salute:

Go for it. I tried something like this a long time ago with Flight Simulator 2004's Poetz 25 addon in my own attempt to recreate Charles Nungesser's final flight from which he was never seen again. Got about halfway across the Atlantic before a CTD... which pissed me off... a lot... and frustrated me, too... a lot...
