Well I wanna push my FSX skills and therefore I am planning the following route using a 747-400:
1 London Heathrow - Dubai - 3420m
2 Dubai - Beijing - 3636m
3 Beijing - Tokyo - 1301m
4 Tokyo - Sydney - 4863m
5 Sydney - Honolulu - 5082m
6 Honolulu - Ancorage - 2784m
7 Ancorage - Seattle - 1446m
8 Seattle - Chicargo - 2553m
9 Chicargo - JFK - 946m
10 JFK - LHR - 3446m
I would like to break up stages 4 and 5 any suggestions?

I like your idea, and I have a couple of suggestions for legs 4 and 5.
For leg 4, you could make an intermediate stop at Guam:

For leg 5, you could take several different routes, but I would suggest stopping by Fiji:

Yellow airports might be too short for a 747.

Okay so we add Guam and Port villa, how about a little US divert as well - Florida then out to saint maarten then up to JFK as well?
-
I would love to do it with the 747-8i but can't find a free version lol
-
How about: Anchorage-Vancouver/Seattle-Phoenix-Chicago Midway-JFK-Bermuda-London?
-
Any news on it? I'll be trying out Sydney-Nadi(Fiji)-Honolulu right now.
-

-
it takes my games pc about 15 minutes to start up (i also allow it to get to temp and stablise before launching fsx)

I ran out of fuel ~140nm out of Fiji ??? The A330-300 did glide fine though, so I made it (almost) without problems.
What plane will you use?

Where did you get a good 787 (I suppose it's good since you use it)?

You may want think about a A330-200 instead of the 333. The extra 1500nm should come in handy while crossing the Pacific.

Looks like 6373 nm between SYD and ANC as a straight shot, within the range of the A330-200.

Now I have my games PC repaired and running I might start this, where to start the flights from....
-
Minneapolis, obviously.
