A question on Ryanair delivery flights
Hi all,
Planning a long haul of Flight Sim out of KBFI to EIDW simulating a Ryanair delivery flight.
Obviously the B738 doesn't have the range to fly it direct, so I would assume that modifications are made. Can anyone confirm this, and if so what?
If I have to modify the fuel tanks on the FS model then that's fine.
Cheers,
Jonjo

You wouldn't do it direct, you'd fly to the US East Coast, Halifax or Keflavik, top up the tanks and fly it across the Atlantic from there. If you're just carrying fuel you should have the range to do that easily.

Speaking as one who has never gone down this path, preferring the joys of the slight whiff of aviation fuel and a good Nikon with me out in the ( not so ) fresh air, I have a question.
In flying the simulated flight from Boeing Field to say Dublin, are you actually in front of a PC for the flight in real time? 10 hours or such?
