My *NEW* Longest Flight! 10+ Hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator (with ATC) A340-300

It's always how it goes with the long flights. The excitement of departing on a long journey followed by the realization you're going to have a virtual plane on autopilot for the next several hours.

[@benn454]

Good time to get a nap in.

[@RustyITNerd]

Back in the "good old days" (FSX), I did a non-stop flight from Bermuda to the Azores in a Boeing 314 using celestial navigation. Flight/attitude stablisation yes, autopilot no. Meal/coffee and bathroom breaks were kinda "interesting". 😆 Flight time was - as far as I recall - also well over 10 hours.

My brother in law is training to be an airline pilot. I’ve told him to watch AFP to understand the right way to handle an aircraft.

"So it's basically a game where people pretend to be Airline Pilots and Air Traffic Control?" "Yeah, with surprising realism." "And you find this fun to play?" "God no! I watch some guy on KZbin play it."

For some reason I read this in Robin Williams voice, like when he describes how to play golf.

[@OutlierConcepts]

"No of course not...I'm not a loser....I watch someone else do that"

[@Covid-bv4hp]

To be fair the realism is what makes it fun. You know its good when you hear squeakers every now and then. And it makes me appreciate this game and hobby as well. The same can be said about any other game really. Some people simply have different tastes and different hobbies and thats completely fine. I would never see myself playing a train sim game but at the same time I have 400 hours on euro truck sim.

[@iampianoman]

Brings back childhood memories of seeing how close the buildings were as my plane made the approach to Kai Tak (I flew on a Cathay Pacific B747-200 from YVR that time), a fascinating treat that plane enthusiasts today can no longer experience in real life.

[@RealSheepShoop]

That Cathay announcement was insane 😂

Oh my god, I was flying from YMML to YSSY at that time. Either I missed you or that Aussie accent was REAL GOOD. Been waiting for a flight from my country for ages...thanks heaps AFP! Great vid as always :)

The Australian accent lmaooo You’re able to nail like every accent you need to

He didn’t nail it (I’m Aussie) but it was still a respectable attempt. Aussies will know you are putting on an accent, but it’s not so bad that we laugh at you.

[@livethefuture2492]

Ah, miss the good old times with the approaches into Kai Tak... Also really love the old Cathay livery on the old A340's, beautiful plane, always loved the 4 engined ones. Something really streamlined and evocative about them, harkening back to the golden days of the jets with the 707 and DC8's. Anyway felt good to be reliving these good old times from back in the day with this flight. Cheers for that! I'd very much love to see you do more 'Historical' flights, you know flights from the different eras of aviation, you know relive some of the old flight routes on historical aircraft and historical airlines from the time period!

The proportions are off on Kai Tak. The turn from the checkerboard is a lot tighter, and the runway is a lot narrower. Its why you had a lot of engine strikes back in the day.

Nice work! The first time I did a Trans-Pacific flight (SYD-SFO - around 14 hours) I was so tired on at the end that I hit the terrain on approach (1R was active for landings). I have since done LHR-PER with the B787 and LHR-SYD with the B748i. The LHR-SYD one took some planning, as I manually selected the flight path on winds aloft to make sure I made it. It meant flying NNE out of London and due east for ages, then turned just after India to head SSE, eventually picking up the fast westerlies over Western Australia to take me into SYD. I was crapping myself on the landing because it was a 20-hour flight and I really didn't want to stuff it up.
