Pushing the envelope

Highest and fastest you've managed?

[Supersheep]

There's threads around that have like 40k+ screens.

I wouldn't have the patience to motor up there at all ;)

 

 

Super-

I wouldn't have the patience...

 

Time acceleration :thumbup:

 

 

All we need now is a Benny Hill sound track mod. :)

(Apologies to those who have no idea I mean by that. Google Benny Hill now!)

[ralfidude]

I've never gone beyond 460 knots, since overspeed kills your engines. As far as height, about 32K.

 

Neither one made much sense at the time.

I got it. Either that or a 1920s rag time soundtrack.

Aye - unless you're bored :D

 

(41 800+ feet)

How on Earth could you be at 400kph at that altitude?

 

It was struggling to crack 200kph when I did it. In fact when I scraped to 35000ft, I lowered the flaps and slowed to about 100knots.

 

Not convinced that figure is in metres. Weather conditions?

400 km/h is only 215 Knots, additionally the info bar speed is TAS not IAS.

 

And you couldn't have been doing 200 km/h, that is well below stall speed.

Are you kidding me? :megalol:

 

OK - just for you, changed to Imperial, weather at default:

 

[marcos]

Tada.

[159th_Viper]

Tada.

 

Yeah, but the point is to fly there and not spawn there ;)

 

Take you time from 30 000ft and maintain a shallow climb and you'll get there - takes a wee while though but it's good practice and in doing so you get to learn the limitations and characteristics of the airframe. Spawning up there just gives you dead engines :megalol:

[WildBillKelsoe]

Ready for covert mission

:D

 

"My hands have splinters!"

:)

[MTFDarkEagle]

Tada.

What was mission start time? ;)

[marcos]

Indeed it is.

[marcos]

What was mission start time? ;)

A good while before. I started at 20000ft, built up to maximum speed and then maintained a steady climb. The first time I simply climbed from low altitude.

Track? :detective:

[marcos]

Didn't save it. Ask 159th. Maybe he saved his.

 

Theoretically you can spawn at 13700m at 840kph if you want to cheat.

[MTFDarkEagle]

Rather suspicious with 0.2G, and a screenshot time of 12:00:01, with default mission starttime 12:00:00 if you ask me :music_whistling:

And the absence of contrails in your screenshot?

Merely coincidence. As is 159th's lack of a proper screenshot.;)

 

This is my new best:

[MTFDarkEagle]

Provide a track then ;)

 

Again, you are showing just after a starting waypoint, at time 12:00:03...

I'll provide one if 159th provides one.

And the absence of contrails in your screenshot? Heat-Blur? As said, dead engines.

I cannot believe you'd be calling me a liar but there it is :megalol:

 

Here we go:

:megalol:

On the way down when I hit screenshot. Just as you were - 0.9g.
