What's the service ceiling for this bird in DCS?

Hiya guys -

 

Wikipedia says the real chopper has a ceiling of 19390ft, depending on environmental factors such as weight and outside temperature. I personally had no problems with taking our fully loaded bird up to 19000ft or so when flying over the mountains en route from Kutaisi to Nalchik yesterday, so BST having reduced its engine power in v1.2.6 doesn't seem to have affected this part of the performance envelope at least. But what're your experiences - have you done any high flying in v1.2.6 and how did it go?

Hell of a long way to have to autorotate if the need arises. :helpsmilie:

If you can autorotate from 1,000 feet, you can do it from 19,000 feet. ;)

DCS bird equates to 16404.2ft or 5000m

True. And you have 19 times longer to relax and enjoy the ride down
