I discovered a funny little bug with the 737 (-900):
When you fly that plane at around >40‘000ft you basically get unlimited fuel. There is nearly 0 fuel consumption even though your throttle is at 100%.
Combining that with another bug, one could fly up to 20-50 hours with that plane. You simply have to click on „Pushback“ before takeoff. Thanks to that you get like an additional 30% of thrust.
I’m currently flying at 51‘500ft at Mach 1.3, throttle at 0%, speed increasing and 20 (!) hours of fuel left. I’m able to fly 10‘500nm with a Boeing 737-900. Another weird thing was that both engines suddenly flamed out at 48‘000ft, but I was able to restart them.
I really don’t think that all those things should be possible. Maybe you devs should look into this to figure out whats wrong here.
Nah its fine. Its just the 737-900 that is having a party now that the 737-9Max has just gotten its typerating. It should be back to normal in a few days.
I don’t. I just wanted to see how far I could push it with this bug after I discovered it by accident in an earlier flight. I don’t like using bugs which are giving me am advantage in a game, so I stopped the flight soon after I wrote that report here.
Ok, just for the record: I said earlier that I don’t like using bugs like that. But I got bored and wanted to see what’s the maximum distance I can get with that plane. I wanted to push it as far as possible. That bug definitely needs to be fixed. :D
I don’t know if that’s also possible with other airplanes too. The Pushback bug exists on every plane though.
