I just can't seem to find a avator under 10k and I can't make a sig. that shows my project under 30k, so I decieded to put a nice hot chick for my avator, because I admire hot models etc.

I mine as well take her off, some people can't handle hot chicks lol.

The mig ur talking about the Fire Fox? ??? Grin

A prototype Mig-25 got to 118,900 feet. However it definately can't sustained leveled flight that high.

I think Earth-is-a-cylinder is worse than the 100 000 feet limit.

I remember in FS98 you could go over 100 000 feet if you go fast enough, however suddenly clouds appear above of you.

I agree completely with the author of the topic. The way the earth is modelled in FS just sucks. And I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to implement a conversion program to convert the sceneries/meshes from previous version to this new format.

FSX will be limited to 100.000 feet
FSX will have a flat and incomplete world preventing flying over the poles
FSX will not allow a correct modeling of Harrier/Osprey/any other hybrid aircraft
FSX will suck for acrobatics

... but I will buy it anyway, because it is okay for normal flying and offers great visual details.

...And X-plane gets more and more of my focus Wink

Come'on guys, give us more trees and more clickable VCs !!

It just made something come back to my mind.
M$ has ALREADY implemented a real world system... guys, get an eye on M$ Space Simulator!!

M$ should have upgraded this game to make their Flight sims, that would have been absolutely great

The mig package does. And so does the slew key

Actually the slew key stops at 100,000 or 99,999 feet Grin

And the mig package doesnt go above 100,000 feet, at least not in flight sim Angry

my mig firefox in fs2002 got upto 225,000ft At this altitude the earth was a blured mess.

The addition of low earth orbit would make x-15 flights fantastic Cheesy

And until customers start buying sims like X-plane over MSFS Microsoft will never change. It's too bad because MSFS is soooo good. Just some minor changes to the flight model and world model would make it perfect. A little more modability and it could become a default engine for other flight and combat sims (the way the Doom and Unreal engine are in first person shooters).

Unfortunately I think the entire combat sim genre isn't going to survive unless they can find some common engine to build on. (Are you listening X-plane people?) If MS could fix these problems they'd expand beyond there current market in to one where they could license their technology. for now, who wants to build a sim on their model?

But to do so would be an enormous expense. All the work they've done to date would be practically undone. Instead of tweaking and re-selling the old program now they'd be building from scratch. Given MS's flagging commitment to the flight sim line of business I don't think it'll ever happen.
