In Topic: What is the biggest fleet you've ever had?

31 December 2012 - 03:24 PM

About to hit 200. Airbus for short-haul (A380s for long haul and high-density) and Boeing for extra long routes the A380 can't reach.

The shortest route is about 700 miles and the longest is around 3500 miles. I've got six in the fleet 5 could be replaced with the Avro jets. Would it be worth getting five and dropping the sixth dc7 and its routes ?
Thanks again


Well, at this point in R0 there's not a plane similar to the DC7 (considering seating capacity+range). Does your 6th DC7 have a route that the Avros can't reach? If there is, you might want to drop the route for now, and save up for something like a.. B752 (3,800miles). Then drop the 6th DC-7 so that you don't have to pay anymore for the DC7s Maintenance Base Costs. :)

Agree with Nexus. Focus on the 737-300s (or -600 when you have enough cash) and the Avros. :D

Any suggestions on a replacement for a dc7 ?


Where and how would you use your DC-7s? If it's short-haul (with similar seating capacity) you might want to try the Avro Regional Jets. :)

In Topic: Your longest flight on FS

18 September 2012 - 03:06 PM

On FS2004, simulated an NWA 744 DTW-NRT flight (Meljet B744), 100% fuel and 40% remaining. DIdn't even care about calculating fuel at that time... anyway that was about 6-8 years ago. lol.
....except I ran the cruise portion of the flight on 4x Time accel. :P hahaha.
