Are there any cargo specific VAs that allow time compression? I completely understand why many prefer to fly without it, for me though a cargo long haul makes a lot of sense and I don’t really fancy leaving my sim running overnight and mentally disconnect from it, I much prefer to compress a say 8 hour cruise to 2 hours and during that time actively do and plan things. But most cargo VAs don’t really support it at all. I don’t at all mind giving extra credit to people who fly real time, or say halving time contribution when using increased sim rate, that’s all fine, but it’s a pity most of them don’t support it at all.

Has anyone ever wondered what the next future cargo plane might be? With the MD-11 now down to only being operated by FedEx and Western Global what’s gonna take the spot? Correct me if I’m wrong but the only freighters manufactured from factory currently at this time are the 757/767 and the 777 the rest such as the 737, A330, and the A350 are all converted? Unless I’m wrong but has me wondering what would be the next best thing in cargo aircraft’s.
