Messed up model, I suspect.
Either that, or the MD-11 is more powerful than you think.

FSX is unrealistic with braking times and takeoff times. I can take off in a 737 in a small grass field.

I use Google Earth FS, like WTAWorld. I mainly travel on sightseeing flights around. My longest flight was on a Cirrus SR22 around Buenos Aires, about 30 minutes. I made a crash landing at EZE, though.

Well somebody once took an A320 off from a dyke so....

[Mr Tree]

Wow. That is a little unrealistic.

I'm currently using YSFlight, so my flights last as long as the missions, 5-25 minutes. I don't fly long

Do you mean this (737) or was there a separate incident that involved an A320?

Well I'm flying United 870 from SYD-SFO right now. I'll probably post pics later

Houston (IAH)-Austin.

[Kirkland]

I flew that route (Houston- Austin) in the opposite direction in a Learjet.

Longest flight now (updated) is KPSP (Palm Springs,CA) to KTRM (Thermal, CA), in a BA A380. Now, I know, that is only 24 miles; but I circled around and enjoyed the scenery.... it was also a test of the A380's fuel supply. I landed in the red at TRM on both tanks.
This was on X-Plane for iPad, which is btw ($9.99, full realistic FS)

Is that the default 737 in FSX? Try landing the PMDG 737NGX in a grass field and see what happens

I cannot get addons..... its weird... but who care's....

try flightsim.com or avsim.com for free plane and if you need help puting them in to FS just look it up on YouTube there are some good videos that will show you how

Talking of unrealism... i once landed an A380 on an aircraft carrier

[benhasajeep]

I managed to go coast to coast in a Cessna 172 with 1 stop (no cheating like increasing winds or anything else). Basically flew at max altitude 15 to 16k and leaned the motor as far as I could and still maintain power. Ran out of gas on roll out at final stop. I did use the weight and balance page to accurately gauge the gas to the pound. I chose my mid stop by watching the gas and picking an airport that I could just make it on. Including figuring on less fuel being burned on the decent. Can go quite a ways when your comming down from 16k in a 172.

I used to put a 747 on the runway at Meigs, lift off just before the end of the runway. Roll inverted immediately and climb out over Chicago upside down.

Never could get the Lear Jet on that damn carrier though. Let alone the 380.

I did have to retrofit a tailhook...
