I love Orbiter! It's free and I got to the moon and mars.(Woooo!) I also love FS2002 (My friend just gave it to me recently) I'm havin fun with my Firefox. But, I want to travel further with my firefox. At one time my friend had Fs2002 and I was able to ride that fucker over Mach 3. My favorite journey was flyin about 18,000ft or so at that speed, staring at, and lookin for more northern lights!!!
I've never owned a flight sim besides Orbiter or playstation's ACE Combat.
. I became interested in flight back when I had an apple 2c. (80's). My Father was 32years Airforce. I never joined. Now that I'm older I look back on all the pictures and things he would tell me about his ventures. I'm lucky he lived long enough to say "old age"

It's a looooooong story.
Bottom line is I want to stare over the earth traveling over mach 5 in my firefox. Is it possible? Any mods? anything? or somthing close?  get over 70000 ft. and to loose gravity in the arctic. my guages go nuts

Hi Xeno, welcome to SimV. Okay to make the Firefox faster you'll need to go into your FS2002 directory (probably C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002) and look for a folder called Aircraft, in there you'll find the Firefox folder, open that and look for something called aircraft.cfg, open it in notepad and scroll down and you'll find a setting for top speed. Increase that number to what you want, save it and then fire up FS and away you go Wink

I thought so. My friend had the blackbird and I thought it traveled faster. I just forgot how fast. I think I'll spend some time tweaking this thing to see what it's capable of. Unfortunately I had to do some christmas shopping so I was unable fly.

I've got the Firefox, too. When I first begin a flight, I have total control of the view-- I can put my viewpoint in any position via the hat switch on my controller. But as the flight continues, I find that I can't keep up with the plane. Eventually, I am left looking up the tailipes. What gives?
