Mud Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Hey all, Just wondering if someone has managed this feat. I just tried myself to see how high I could go, but at around 14.000m the AB stops. I was able to descend a bit and get up to Mach 2 and then climb again, getting me to around 17.000m. But that's how far she wanted to go.

Corrigan Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Yeah, the performance is way off. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=181927 EDIT: feel free to post in that thread if you have good evidence that the performance is lacking, and in what way.

Ramstein Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I tried to climb a bit, I think maybe 15k feet or so and the engine flamed out... it is horrible at any high altitudes ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR
razo+r Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 15K feet is like nothing, like 5Km, i managed it to get up to 12Km and then around this height my engine went off...
drPhibes Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Why are you trying to fly a low altitude attack/strike aircraft at 60.000ft? Just curious...
razo+r Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Why are you trying to fly a low altitude attack/strike aircraft at 60.000ft? Just curious... for testing purposes :music_whistling: maybe we can catch the SR-71
Fri13 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Why are you trying to fly a low altitude attack/strike aircraft at 60.000ft? Just curious... Doesn't the fighter variant have the same engine?

Mud Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 I doubt they have the same engine, but I'm not sure. I just saw the max ceiling for the AJS in the manual, and figured I'd go chase it!

Buzzles Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Doesn't the fighter variant have the same engine? Some people like to test the flight book limits. JA has a different engine which has an extra compressor section iirc. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
antagonist Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I doubt they have the same engine, but I'm not sure. I just saw the max ceiling for the AJS in the manual, and figured I'd go chase it! According to LNS's own product information, it uses the RM8A, whereas the fighter version uses the RM8B which is slightly longer due to an additional compressor stage.
mattebubben Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) and due to the Modifications to the RM8B it has more thrust, (72.1 kN dry and 125.0 kN as Compared to the 65.6 kN dry and 115.6 kN wet of the RM8A in the other Viggen variants) is better optimized for higher altitude operations and is not sensitive to compressor stalls like the RM8A is (So no risk for compressor stalls when doing rapid throttle changes or doing high AOA maneuvers etc).
