Hi, I am planning on doing YSSY - EGLL soon but I don't think I would make the whole distance with enough fuel so I would need to maybe make a refuelling stop in OMDB or a similar location. Is it possible for stopover flights in VATSIM so it could be like YSSY > OMDB > EGLL

Of course, the sky is your limit 🙂.

How would you let the ATC know your doing the stopover.

Departure: YSSY

Arrival: EGLL

Alternate: OMDB

 

Would be like that?

If you know you'll be stopping in Dubai, file to Dubai.  While you're refuelling, file Dubai to Heathrow.

If you drop in to somewhere in the middle of a flight, any controllers online won't see your flight plan to clear you as it doesn't originate at that field causing issues on their side of things

Thank you for the help.
