Exorcet Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Errr, no 100 000 feet equals roughly 33 000 km. Highest i have managed to get an SU-33 was angels 13 or 14. (including some weapons mind you) Yes, and I've been at 100,000 feet multiple times. Here are some lazy attempts I just made with weapons on the plane.

I'm talking about DCS, without cheating or modding, to be able to do this online. And 100,000 in a F-15 is not realistic at all. i5 4670 - Sabertooth Z87- GTX Titan - Dell U3011 30" - 2x8GB RAM 1800 - Samsung 840 EVO 512GB SSD - Warthog HOTAS - CH Pro pedals - TrackIR5 - Win7 64bit EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE :thumbup:
GGTharos Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Actually it is. It's one of time-to-climb records that the F-15 holds, or held in the past. It's no operational ceiling though.

Interesting, never new that one before, only heard rumors at 70+. i5 4670 - Sabertooth Z87- GTX Titan - Dell U3011 30" - 2x8GB RAM 1800 - Samsung 840 EVO 512GB SSD - Warthog HOTAS - CH Pro pedals - TrackIR5 - Win7 64bit EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE :thumbup:
GGTharos Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 It's no rumor, it's well documented. Look up the 'Streak Eagle'. Mind you like I said, it's no operational ceiling - the ceiling is far below that. Around 65k maybe at best when you're really light and at the right speed.

Buzpilot Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) It's no rumor, it's well documented. Look up the 'Streak Eagle'. Mind you like I said, it's no operational ceiling - the ceiling is far below that. Around 65k maybe at best when you're really light and at the right speed. I see, looks like 70+ is only in start of the difficult climbing. DCS starts getting difficult above 35k. Or maybe it's in the maneuver, but anyway, it will stop at 60k here. Would be fun to try this.

Hamblue Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Looks like the F-15 streak eagle was capable of more than 100k. It did 98,425 feet in 3 minutes and "coasted" to 103k before descending. Wonder what it could have done if kept under power. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=2283 Asus Sabertooth P67 Motherboard 2600k CPU, 16 gig DDR3, 1600.
