Try this flightplan if you have time enough
Asterdam Schiphol EHAM to JFK New York KJFK
This looks like to much, but if you can run the sim for several hours,
just check out so now and then if all go's right.
You need Jeppesen charts for this!
The most fun you have if you use an airplane without GPS(because the GPS
in XPlane is not a real one, and it has no difficulty to fly towards an
beacon wich is about 2000 Nm away.
So, use PlaneMaker to create a 747-300 with conventional panel and a
second nav/com.
Before you start, be sure to take for 8 hours fuel because you make a
circle route.
Beware of the magnetical deviation wich is in England 2° but for
instance at Greenland 28°.
Start at EHAM and intercept the 307 radial from SPY 113.30
Then at 66 DME the 288 to Ottringham 113.9 At 74 DME OTR you fly to
Newcatle NEW
Then the route continues to Talla, Glasgow and Tiree.
Now comes the trick. After passing Tiree you fly the 295 radial from it.
When you turn on your data uotput you switch the lat/lon on. When
everything works you pass the N57 00.0 W 010 00.0
From here you fly in nobody's land., and you have to relay on your data
output in the cocpit window.
The coordinates you have to fly now are,
N 57 W 010
N 58 W 015
N 59 W 020
N 60 W 030
N 60 W 045
When this is working you will see now the southpoint of Greenland and
you can intercept the Prins Christian Sund NDB at 372 OZN
Your about half way now.
Fly the 275 from OZN and try to intercept the N 58 W 050 intersection,
so you can be sure that you're on course. At this intersection turn to
270 hdg to intersept the Logan intersection at N 55 W 057.
This means we are not far from NewFoundland and we can intercept the
Rigolet NDB396 JC.
From here we can use the landbeacons again and you can use Moncton
117.3 Fredericton 113.0 Bangor 114.8 and Boston 112.7
So, here we are JFK at about 7 hours later.
When you want to spare fuel, fly after take off a half hour at FL280.
Then climb every half hour 2000ft towards FL 340.
I hope you can enjoy this, for me sometimes it's fun.
