Mars Exulte Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Nothing anybody else hasn't done fifty thousand times before but I was curious what records others had? I made it to Mach 2.48 or so (It was squawking about bingo fuel so I decided to start the climb before I ran out) and zoomed to an estimated 88,900ft. Anybody go faster/higher?

mvsgas Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Changed your link, you only need 47y5HeJXUa4 from the URL To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Mars Exulte Posted December 20, 2016 Author Posted December 20, 2016 Ah, fixed. Thanks Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
bladechaser Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 how did you manage to get this height .. i struggle to get passed 55k
dudeman17 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 As you suspected I have also tried a similar thing only in DCS 1.5 as you can see from the screenshot i made it to 91750 ish however ill include a second screenshot with a better view of the world. It is very difficult to do considering you have to pull from level at 45-50 thousand feet up to around 70-80 degrees nose up while trying to maintain as much of your energy as possible. you'll want to be cruising at the fastest you can get then on the lowest possible fuel climb so you just able to maintain max throttle all the way. 1500-2000 lbs should be about right. Good luck to whoever tries it.

Mars Exulte Posted December 24, 2016 Author Posted December 24, 2016 Bladechaser, that long period where I was flying straight, I was building speed. When I started my climb, I was doing just shy of mach 2.5. Momentum, good sir ;) If you try to just loiter your way up there, the F-15 service ceiling is around 60,000 feet. You have to get a good running start to go higher than that =) You can't stay that high, I stalled out sharply once my speed bled off. Climb up a bit, 10-20k feet, build your speed up to mach 1 or a bit higher, then move up again to 35-45k feet and then build your speed up again to at least mach 2, then pull up into a steep climb and rocket your way up there.

bladechaser Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 finally managed to get myself in game to give this another go to see what i can get and heres the end product .. i think i topped out at around 89000 feet and the dived to the ground to shatter some windows on buildings with a super sonic fly pass
SinusoidDelta Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 You can get quite a bit higher :thumbup: Here's a screenshot of one attempt ~113,000ft. I've actually been higher. I believer 124,000 ft is my absolute record. I've got a screenshot of it somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it up.
bladechaser Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 yeah my info bar stated well above 100k but the hud stated 89-90k
