Flying from Israel to Australia in FSX

I’ve completed the long journey of flying from Israel to Australia in MS Flight Simulator X (or FSX in short). I flew using the Beechcraft King Air 350. You can see the route in Google Maps, here. Overall it was fun. Most of the flight was using the autopilot, except of course for takeoff and landing. Most of the flights were at night, as I set the clock to the current time at the departure airport. I also flew using the current weather (FSX does that), but the weather was generally good. I could have made fewer stops, but I only had limited time. My next project would be with the Learjet. I’ve already made a few practice flights (I usually don’t fly jets), and I’m just looking for a destination :-)

My FSX flight to Australia update

Today I arrived at Kandahar, Afghanistan. Again, a night flight, and a short one, as I didn't have a lot of free time for the flight (it's real time, remember).

Flying from Israel to Australia

Now that I have a new joystick, I decided it's time to use it. I've started flying from Israel to Australia (no firm destination yet) in FSX (Microsoft Flight Simulator X). My instrument of choice is a Beechcraft King Air 350. I'm flying "real time", and also in real local time, i.e. if I'm at 8pm (GMT+2) and I'm at an airport located at GMT+3, I'll set the time to 9pm. So far I'm flying only at night, but I expect it to get lighter as I head east.

Here is what my progress looks like so far:

Date / Time	From	To	Flight Time	Distance (Miles)
11/08 - 21:14	LLHZ- Herzlia, Israel	LTAI	1.7	393
13/08 - 20:34	LTAI - Antalya, Turkey	LTCO	2.4	682
15/08 - 20:41	LTCO - Agri, Turkey	UTAA	2.9	830

 

I'll continue to update my progress as I go,

UTAA is in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
