Default Round the World route?

What's the recognised route around the world. Planning on doing it in the
Baron.

Can anyone point me to a flightplan in FSNavigator for such a route?

Thanks

Clive

Surely the whole point and fun of a round the world trip could ONLY be from
planning it yourself?
You know, 'to only go where no man etc.....' The most famous split
infinitive on TV.

I hang my head in shame; another certificate failed to add to all the
others. I was, I admit, obsessed with my own use of the word 'only'. The
original question was, still fairly pathetic wasn't it? I mean, to get
someone else to plan your round the world trip? ON A SIMULATOR !Deary deary
me.

I agree. I think it's pathetic to even ask the question.

Well that's a pathetic attitude. If you don't care to give pathetic pedantic
answers to pathetic questions then restrain yourself. We are not all as
gifted as you are.

No it's not.

What is pathetic is to not make the effort to get out an atlas, plot
out a route and fly it. This is not only fun but also educational.

I flew the FS95(?) Learjet around the world using a 'Compact World
Atlas', a circular protractor and a lot of trial and error. On the way
I learnt about navigating using VORs and NDBs and how to fly an ILS
approach. It was fun because I was doing it myself, learning as I went
and the sense of achievement at the end was remarkable. I commend it
to others.

We are not all as gifted as you are.


It's not a question of being gifted or not. It's a question of common
sense and application.
