Would You Like an Ultra-High Altitude Aircraft?

[Zakatak]

I thought about the question when I saw this comparison between this engine and DCS 2.0 which was taken at 50,000 feet.

 

 

Pretty nice view, right? You can even see the curvature of the Earth. Now I'm a little curious as to how this engine would look from... who knows? 75,000 feet, 100,000 feet, 400,000 feet? I'm not thinking of a specific aircraft, and I'm sure a lot of ultra-high altitude planes wouldn't make sense in a DCS environment, but would you like one? MiG-25RB, SR-71, U-2S, X-15? The last one sort of makes sense in the context of a Nevada map, but nowhere else, the first two can't make the most of their Mach 3 capability due to small theatre sizes, but the U-2S should fit in nicely, but I imagine all of them might have the issue of classified information.

 

Random question: what is the highest altitude you can achieve in DCS right now? I've heard that the F-15 and MiG-21 don't seem to have the high altitude performance they should.

Geez, now I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard:D

Highest I've been

 

 

To answer the thread, I'd buy one. Even the SR-71, etc that don't currently fit.

mm.. i'd prefer if the priority was on building out the constituent aircraft for complete packages --- fighters, sead, strikers, jammers

 

then yeah, branch out - have fun

Yes, a lockheed U2 would be ballin
