Well I mean thanks I will learn how to step climb but I was having a fuel problem early on in the flight when I was just beginning to cross the Atlantic so my actions were. Stay at FL360 but I went from Mach 0.90 to Mach 0.86, thus giving me somewhere around an extra hour of fuel.
Donāt you think itās kind of obvious what happened now? ;)

Hereās a tutorial.
Well when I slowed it down to Mach 0.86 I had a lot of extra fuel and my friend still has 336000 pounds of fuel and I had like 17hours or something like that.
Well ik how to do flight plans and stuff but I will look at the fuel part of the tutorial cause having to put maximum fuel on the plane just to hope that its enough to make it is really annoying. lol

Okay. Well, these things can happen if you leave your flight over night.
Iād try using something like SimBrief or similar if i were you, to get more proper fuel estimates. The one in the app is very rough and donāt account for your weight, speed or winds.
When I land in Dubai ill look at my flight log so I can tell you how far I was out of Toronto before I went down. That will give us an idea as to where I was :P
lol I think I have realized :P
Oh is this why that app was telling me to make a bunch of weird turns over the Atlantic but I just put a marker somewhere near Dubai? I think it definitely had something to do with the winds.

With the FPL on that tutorial page is it because of the winds why the Line isnāt just straight to JFK?
Also airways and because maps are flattened so something straight wonāt look straight.
Will it look curved on a map the line behind the plane like say on liveflight?
When looking at a Globe, itāll look straight. However, on a flat map, itāll be curved. The reason for this is because the Earth isnāt flat. Itās, well, a globe.
Here youāll understand.
This is a great resource
