Guys,

I have a question. What is the max range of the CS 757? I can't find it anywhere in the manual, i know i have around 20000 lbs fuel on board (both tanks 100% and we miss a a fuel tank but that's already known "issue")

Thank you!

I don´t know the distance, but we are talking about 8 hours of flight... No intercontinental flights....

There aren't many - that fly intercontinental with it.  But  Continental fly Hamburg - Newark with a 757 - 200 every day - a total flying time of 8hrs 40mins.  They must have some reserve too.

A 757-200 has a max range with max payload of 3810 nm, I wouldn't expect the CS 757 to match that just yet, as it doesn't have an accurate FDE yet!

EDDH - KEWR is 3312NM on a GC line,  further allowances for routing across Europe and complying with ETOPS will make that about maximum range.   A fairly realistic route compiled with FSBuild makes that about 3422NM, which gives them a 10% reserve for bad weather, re-routing etc. It will be interesting to try the aircraft on this route when the advanced avionics and flight model are released.   It would nice if CS could include some real-life flight plans (including this one) to try out the plane with when the final manuals arrive.
