I am trying to find out which aircraft on Deltava are capable of lying the enormous distence in the Cross Africa onine event (almost 6000 nm) However it seems that the maximum range of the airplanes are notoriously diffcult to find. Those manuals tell you everythign but. Where are they?

This is because a plane's range is dependant upon factors like full burn, and wind. Full burn is dependant upon load factor. I fully loaded 777 flying in a headwind doesn't have the same range as the same 777 empty flying in a tailwind.

| Brian - a 737 can't fly 6000nm. You MIGHT get a -900ER to do it but it would have to be lightly loaded. DVA doesn't allow the 900ER however
