Generally speaking, distances within the southern hemisphere need to increase between continents but I'm unsure how to do it yet without distorting other places up north.
This is the fundamental point. There is no way of preserving RE distances on a flat plane
I agree with you on this.
If you believe in a flat earth, then implicit in that belief is that somehow almost every distance between two places on the planet is not what it is understood to be
I wouldn't go that far. We're talking ocean distance and polar region's, not well established travel routes
To your previous point about the composition of the atmosphere…I think you need to do some reading. The troposphere contains almost all of the moisture in the atmosphere - that’s why you are almost always looking down on the weather when you are cruising in an airliner at or around the tropopause. Above that height things get warmer, not colder.
That's not totally true If you Wikipedia "Stratosphere" you'll see that temperature is cold in the Stratosphere and only goes up as you approach it's 40km ceiling.. Planes enjoy flying around the lower Stratosphere to avoid Troposphere weather.
Your suggestion would require that thousands of flights everyday end up flying oddly slow, or over longer distances than expected without comment or question -
I'm always open to comments or questions
Why is the air thinner near the edges? How does it stay that way? If it’s thinner, there should be lower atmospheric pressure and therefore a wind developed that would work towards equalizing that pressure difference.

I don't know the exact inch measurements that you used, but the problem you're having and why there isn't really an accurate flat earth map to date is that distances must meet reality. You can't just arbitrarily make up distances just to cram things into your map. That's the exact opposite of what cartography is all about.
I'm not making up distances. I'm trying to get real distances in accordance with FE Theory. The Atmospheric Dome acts like a magnifying glass above the earth enlarging and shrinking the image as seen from space. I'm trying to correct for that.
And from Cape Town to Buenos Aires I agree it's about 2,500 miles compared to 4000miles on a RE as you say. Why the flight time isn't three hours shorter is because the plane in going slower then believed.
That's all fine and good. But you should start from reality first and then work your continents and such, not the other way around. For example:
- Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska is about 1400 miles in reality. On your map, it looks like about 5000-6000 miles. How can that be? I measure 2,500mies (see map)
- Greenland on your map at its widest point looks like around 7000 miles. In reality, it's just 1100 miles wide. You're 6000 miles off! I measure about 8,000miles wide. Has anyone double checked?
- From Moscow to the Bering Straight is just over 5000 miles in reality, straight shot. On your map it's almost double that, 10,000 miles! I measure almost 12 inches and 15,000miles (see map)
Remember how refraction works with a Dome made of glass, water, or atmosphere ... It magnifies the inner portion of an image and diminishes the outer portion, so these distances are kind of justified.
Your notion would be considered anecdotal pseudo-science at best.
You're saying that airliners are flying in colder weather at the equator then near the poles?I wouldn’t use the term ‘weather’, but yes, the tropopause air temperature is colder at the equator than it is at the poles. It’s not a rigid thing, of course, so we’re talking in general terms, but the important point to hoist aboard is that flying over a hot country at 40,000ft does not mean that the air outside will be hotter than that over a cold country - other factors dominate. I should also point out that the height of the tropopause also varies - it tends to be lower towards the poles.
That was good information thank you. I'd just add that along shorter distances planes do not have a lot of time to travel at high altitudes in favorable conditions. So, when adverse winds and higher temps do play a role, I don't think they have a huge advantage over planes zipping by up north.
If two people are running a marathon and one is bombarded by wind and temp and humidity I don't' think it's unrealistic to assume he will not travel the same distance in an equal amount of time. Even half the distance isn't impossibleQuoteAnd yes, I agree the distances may not be perfect, but please keep in mind I do feel the planes are flying slower from LAX to Sydney because the wind is against them and its hotter.
There’s lots to unpack there. Science isn’t about feelings - it’s about evidence. As for the hotter bit - you seem to have completely misunderstood that. Even if it was hotter, which it isn’t, that wouldn’t affect the speed, just the amount of fuel burnt along the way.
I don't know how to respond. I told you what I know about the issue and you disagree.
Furthermore, and again, your calculations have to work in both directions. You can’t have a headwind both ways to explain a discrepancy.
I don't know what this means?
QuoteLike a frisbee, the Earth wobbles once a year.
How does it wobble if the whole surface is being accelerated at the same rate all the time?
Perhaps the totality of your position, simply put, is: "The earth is flat and there is a dome. I have no idea how people under this dome can see a daytime sky in one place and a nighttime sky in another at the same time."
Do you acknowledge that RET explains this? Do you admit that FET has only the conviction that it can be explained, but has no explanation?
