(A polar route is an aircraft route across the uninhabited polar ice cap regions. The term “polar route” was originally applied to great circle routes between Europe and the west coast of North America in the 1950s.[1])Wikipedia.
Do they work in global? Are they faster?
They sure will, take your question and adventure over to:
Of course they work. If it’s faster IRL it’s faster in IF.
I dont see anyone posting pictures on north pole
Well then it must not work right?
Hahahahaahahahah. Funny
Yes they work.
Unless you purposely make waypoints to go out of the way, IF will give you the shortest route. If that means going over the poles vs arcs so be it. Yes there are pictures. Check out the global beta tester tracking thread and you will see pictures for proof.
Search Polar Routes, there’s plenty of discussions through the years in the forums about these ;)
