Tom thas sounds good . I am sure I have flown this event a year or two ago and I can say I was really tired after that . I think I was taking off from Barcelona and with dastination FAJS . Europe was easy ,but as you were flying over Africa ,too busy . Always on Radio ,traffic all around heading to FACT and FAJS,so you can imagine what that approuch looked like. Belowe FL 150 stayed on speed as for traffic seperation etc. ,switching to many frequencies , lucky if you could pass your message as ATC was busy . Great experience ,great fun. will se how I go with time haven't flown anything longer then 2 hours for past two months I think ,so might do one longer ? would hope to fly this in a new Pmdg 777 . good way to improve on a new aircraft during a long flight ,except fuel cutt off switch see if it is modeled correctly :rofl: . thanks Petr
