Duenna Running For 21 Hrs

Thought this was interesting. AVSIM Buzzbee logged a 21 hr flight with the Duenna.

Have long wondered about doing a 24 or 32 hr flight documented by the Duenna. Could pull it off with a fully laden B-36J or some such as long as the confutor does not melt down.

Nice going Buzz!
 
any bets on "full-time attentive flight monitoring by a qualified pilot" ???
Good thing the Otto was stable or we' could be mounting an Antarctic Rescue Mission.

Maybe we should institute a rule about Mandatory Pilot Reports in the flight thread every 30 minutes...:173go1:
 
Odd.

Between 18:20 and 01:40 the 747 was traveling at 564kts and desceding 4 fpm. All while remaining at the same longitude and latitude.

Am guessing that Buzz paused the sim for those 7 hours...
 
I see that now. So the flight would have been around 14-15hr maybe?

Yup, otto would have the con quite a bit on a flight that long!
 
yup, figured a 747 would've made the flight in less than 21 hours. Still the point was Duenna stayed connected and tracked for the full 21 hours. A great test by Buzzbee, even more kudos to the writer of duenna.
:ernae:
 
The Duenna is a great tool!

This flight paused for about 7 hours at Top of Descent.

I set up the flight late in the evening, took off and got to the initial cruise altitude and then hit the sack.

In the morning, I checked the fuel configuration. I should have step climbed to a better altitude, but I had to get out the door to work. I watched the Duenna tracking throughout the morning at work and confirmed that the relief crew was flying.

When I got home I un-paused and flew the descent and approach into KLAX
 
Dang... my old comp wants to puke after about 3-4 hours of running FS9.
 
Willy,

This was on an older ABIT IP-35 with an E7300, ATI Radeon 4850 and 2 gigs of RAM. I was having some crashes and had one over India in the Vega. Hopefully I will have this dialed in.

I just Built a box up with a Gigabyte G31 and an Intel E5300. It runs pretty darn good.
 
Hehe... AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 1 gig RAM, FX 5200 vid card and an unknown motherboard here. It's going on 8 years old now.
