So I was doing a long haul then three hours later I came back to find that I crashed and it seems like a got ghosted for overspeeding so is there any other way I can get it un-done

Don’t mean to play cop on you, but do you know how fast you were going? (Mach Number)
I was at flight level 390 and I was going at Mach 86. It seems like my autopilot must have got disconnected or something
What was your aircraft?
A Boeing 787-9
That’s odd. 787s usually fare well at 86. Either a wind glitch happened or something else.

You were going M 0.86. Mach 86 would explain why you oversped the aircraft!

Yeah but I didn’t mean my game crashed, I meant that my plane crashed
How much fuel did you have, and how long is the fight normally?

I’m not sure exactly but I put about 9 hours worth of fuel

I don’t know what happened but it seemed like my autopilot disconnected
What callsign did you use? I can see if I can give some details.

It was N1WB
Can you check your log book and see what the violations were for? A screen shot would be nice because I think I am seeing something different on my side.

Mach 0.86 is slightly above the average cruising speed for a B787, which is .84-85, so he was not overspeeding by any means.
And what was your route? (9 Hours of fuel is not enough for a 9 hour flight.)
I’m pretty sure the 787 has a max speed of 0.89 so it’s not really overspending

That’s basically what I said.

Just giving in some evidence, just realized I hit the reply button. Oof

I think you all misread what I said. MACH 86 (86x the speed of sound). It was a joke about his typo. Yes, the 787 is perfectly capable of M 0.86.
