MSFS 2020 Darkstar: London to Sydney non stop!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- Today were taking the Darkstar from the Top Gun Maverick DLC for Microsoft Flight Simulator for a long haul flight!
On average, it takes just over 21 hours with a stop over to go from London to Sydney if conditions are ok. Well we have clear skies, unlimited fuel and a one way ticket to Sydney.
How long will it take? You'll see at the end, but theres a few POI I've mentioned through the video too with how long it takes to get there.
Sit back, grab snacks and enjoy the video!
This video is recording on my PC using keyboard, mouse and Xbox Series X controller.
Hope you enjoy, more from this DLC coming soon.

The curve on the map is a straight on the sphere. Your choice of trajectory is longer.
Will remember that for the future! Ty!
Yep... called the "great circle"
Flat earth theory 😄 proves better
r/facepalm x100
Use the haversine formula and prove it to yourself. There is an online calculator for it.
I did this route too a bit ago to see how far I could get it on a single tank, turns out you just back off the throttle all the way and only put it back up to half throttle without afterburners and it goes extremely far.. you can probably go anywhere in the world at at least mach 4 in this thing on a single tank of scramjet fuel. I made it all the way to london from sydney at I think about mach 5.5 all the way on my trip
Wow DeSinc hello there
who wouldve known going stupidly fast is inefficient
I'll keep that in mind when I'n next video for the Darkstar I do!
@@Pelliq_E yeah it's cuz when you go faster your using more to compensate, but it probably doesn't equal out as much as we think... It's similar to cars using gas
@@akkoismydaughter3573 thats the worst analogy possible.. comparing a jet in the stratosphere to a car
Love it! Never thought you could go beyond the limit of troposphere and stratosphere MSFS!!!
You could do a day trip to Sydney using that aircraft.
Yup, but only if your a test pilot and have a few million in the bank for the fuel haha
31:31 that is a background worthy view! 😍
Indeed! Wish id changed to showcase with the markers off!
Nice, I kinda want to try the New York to Singapore route in the Darkstar
Me: beautiful
Donald: OOOOHHHH satisfying
Professionals at work... straight lining it instead of great circling. I guess you missed the lessons about how to map a globe onto a flat piece of paper...
Well..... yes i did 😂 dont worry, ive learnt already!
Brilliant! Well done. Wasnt that bad on the landing. You didnt bounce. :) Clean approach also. Nice....
True, always worry for a bounce lol
Nice flight!
Ty!
I haven't gotten this DLC yet so I just do these hypersonic flights with the Google Earth flight simulator.
i did something like this a week ago. where i took off from EGLL and landed back at EGLL
one day this will be possible, commercially. then i may think about going to oz
One day!
i was curious on if the darkstar was in space in this vid and it was, space starts at 264000 feet in altitude and he went higher than that
Pretty sure those gears would be gone by that speed lol
So idk about you guys but the Darkstar likes to push itself off course when you get really high up. I tried going from going from Austin to London and kept getting sent wildly off course. Idk what I’m doing wrong
Not had that issue personally tbh. As long as you check your heading every now and then it should be fine unless its trimming the rudders for some reason
I’ll check but I keep getting pushed off course even when I’m following my heading exactly. I want to enjoy msfs but that’s really annoying
@@atticuscorbitt8199 you have to be extremely vigilante about your heading with this vehicle. Check your rudder trim
@@xDreadheadx right
What "annoys" you and "push itself off course" is called "Great-circle distance". because the earth is spherical and the magnetic pole is offset from the true pole - you cannot fly long and long distances with the same magnetic heading (darkstar avionics shows exactly the magnetic heading) because the shortest path is a curve (if you look at the map) between departure and arrival that doesn't have the same course, and if on regular planes it's not so noticeable because they don't fly straight ahead, but follow airways between waypoints, but when you fly a darkstar, especially with its speed, it's more noticeable and you feel like you're constantly veering off "the right course", but the truth is that when you fly a darkstar there's no "right course", there's only a curve you have to fly
Pardon my English.
Wish you would the world map at times to see how much ground you're covering.
Will keep thw VFR map up more often for future flights! Have to have it zoomed out all the way due to speed
So ace
Mach 1.5 under 11,000 ft…. There’s goes your license lol
It doesnt get put into perspective until 23:58 as it passes those islands. At least for me.
The video is sped up at that point, when I have a the name of somewhere show up and you can see the VFR map, thats showing a more accurate speed
0:37 How do you turn on/off the ability to move the map with your mouse like that? I cant do it on mine
just hold the click while moving
Hi . can you tell me the title of the music of the first seconds , please ?
All the music can be found on the link to the forums below.

@@LeslieDaWelsh1 Thank you 🙂👍 .I like so much your videos
awww... flat earther on msfs... 😂
I forgot my GCSE maths.... its been many a year 🤣
Under 4 minutes, right?
I wish 🤣 thankfull the Darkstar can sit steady at 275k ft without any input! Otherwise that would have been a painful flight
@@LeslieDaWelsh1 yes. Never should need that much input at that speed. Crazy how long it would take to turn around.
wouldn't a SCRAM jet flame out at the altitude you flew at?
The ceiling on the tech specs for scramjet say about 250,000 ft. 75km up.
Why does it show a steady altitude, yet the VSI is showing c+70k?
I honestly have no idea, the max altitude in game is 275K, no matter what you try and do. So think the VSI just has a melt down at that altitude to be honest
@@LeslieDaWelsh1 i rather think you still climb at 70k feet but the altimeter can only indicate 275000ft
Excuse me but why you have 2 engines of?
2 engines are for supersonic flight, the other 2 are hypersonic flight. They transition between mach 3-4
@@LeslieDaWelsh1 ahhhhhhhj ok 👍🏻
The aircraft randomly pitches to high in the cruise - causing a stall, or my frames drop to 15fps. No idea why
The plane does pitch high at times randomly, its a tricky thing to control. But its possible the video dropped to 15fps too, i was running in Ultra and it pushes the PC a little
@@LeslieDaWelsh1 Yeah, I have quite a high end pc and my frames drop at high speeds. I think it might be the photogrammetry loading?
does this plane also has a double sonic boom like the sr71 ?
Im not sure, with the sr71 you had the nose cone and then the engine cones further back. as this smooth edge along it i assume it wouldnt
Lol the amount of broken windows you'd have haha 🤣
There wouldnt be a window left in the outskirts of Sydney
Дарк стар это больше чёрной дырой попахивает, чёрной дырой для налогоплатильщиков
very true, it would be a black hole for tax payers money
Aww nawww already cheated.. lol
