June 28, 20241 yr polar flights don't work in MSFS, the sim drops in FPS and plane crashes. just happened to me in the middle of my OMDB-KSEA flight it's a shame for the most modern simulator to not have this fixed
June 28, 20241 yr I found that out the hard way last night myself. Jeff D. Nielsen (KMCI) https://www.twitch.tv/pilotskcx https://discord.io/MaxDutyDay VENGEANCE a8200 Gaming PC: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, GeForce RTX 5080, 64GB DDR5, 4TB (2TB/2TB) M.2 SSD, Win11 Pro

June 29, 20241 yr Good to know, the 777 certainly provides lots of opportunity for polar routes.

June 29, 20241 yr I didn't know about this one, but apparently it's been a topic here on other sims in past decades as well. The weird thing is, I vaguely remember flying close to the pole here in MSFS, maybe about one year ago. I don't remember the specifics, it might have been Dubai to New York. I don't remember any problems other than one couldn't adjust the view in the outside spot plane view near the pole, but that worked again once one got further south. Anyway, out of curiosity I've just departed Barrow Alaska for Murmansk in Russia, which will take me right over the geographic North Pole. I'll report back.
June 29, 20241 yr Yeah I've flown pretty close to the top on a Narita to Brussels flight before and never had an issue B450 Tomahawk Max / Ryzen 7 5800x3D / RTX 3060ti 8G / Noctua NH-UI21S Max Cooling / 32G Patriot RAM / 1TB NVME / 450G SSD / Thrustmaster TCA & Throttle Quadrant / Xiaomi 32" Wide Curved Monitor 1440p 144hz
June 29, 20241 yr Barrow to Murmansk was no problem. Time and fuel worked out just as expected. Upper level winds and weather seemed reasonably realistic. Noticed again the slightly strange issue with the spot plane view being able to rotate only around the vertical axis. Also up near the pole the FMC cruise page showed some weird optimum and maximum altitudes. I do fly at a low fps limit in cruise. I have no doubt there's some more weird stuff there. Would be cool to fly to the South Pole in the southern summer.
