as some of you know,in fs2000 slew takes you up to 100000, but i`ve once flown concorde to over 200000.in fs2002,slew takes ya up to 100000,and you can`t go any higher than that.why not make a download to extend it to 1000nauticle miles!!!!!!go higher than the aurora borialas!!!!!!better yet,make a whole line of rockets,space shuttle discovery with boosters and hydreden tank,soyuz,satern V,vostock 1,buran space shuttle...etc. it would be awsome

&&and yet i cant say it in the chat room:P&&&&http://airliners.net/random.inc&&&&;

I think that would be a great Idea if someone could figure out how to do it.

Its Hardcoded and not editable....

but i thought concorde coudnt operate at those altitude?? the pressure must be son strong plus there is hardly any air up there providing nearly no lift whatsoever

its funny- 100 years ago people coudnt fly- now we finding it hard to keep out of the sky

I was watching a documentary on aviation a few days ago and I think remember it mentioning that jet engines operate more efficiently at high altitudes, whereas propellor engines become less efficient.

Anyway, Airwolf's theory of Concorde not being able to operate at 100,000 ft altitude because of the lack of air to provide lift sounds reasonably... er... reasonable.

Jet engines are designed to operate at different heights.

E.g Concorde uses RR-Snecma Olympus engines. They are useless at low level but amazing at high level.

Panavia Tornado uses Turbo Union RB199-34R Mk.104's that are amazing at low level and useless at high level

well, maybe not 1000nm, but why not 60 or so nm, like spaceship one? while it is 'space', microgravity and micro atmosphere still applies...so the FS 'code' should be able to be extended to handle it.

You might have a problem as I believe the FS world is actually more cylindrical than spherical. I could be quite wrong about that as I usually fly VFR. Wink

It used to be a cylindrical world...not sure if that is still true. I honestly haven't tried 90 Deg N or S to see what happens in FS9.

Well if it's in a file somewhere (which it obviously is or we wouldn't have a limit) I am sure someone on this here site can find it and edit it. I think it would very entertaining to take a plane up that high.

However, I forsee a problem. Vehicles flying that high have small thrusters to change direction. We don't have that luxury, so to get decent control, we would need huge control throws and gigantic control surfaces. Wonderful, until we hit low altitude and a small turn to final results in us rolling the plane several times. Roll Eyes

You mean it isn't on the back of the giant turtle Cry

Actually, if you're interested in going higher I would recommend looking at the Orbiter sim - everything from Sputnik to the Enterprise-E.
