April 1, 201115 yr The sim itself can go up to 1,000,000,000 feet, but if you use cannabis you can get much higher :( In reality that altitude can only be reached by spacecraft. Most commercial jet airliners are limited to around 40000 feet but it depends on the type of aicraft, engines used, weight etc.Unpressurized aircraft are limited to around 10000 feet because most humans start to get trouble breathing above that.Allard.

April 1, 201115 yr Cannabis is not appropriate here, though true..Captain Sim has a really awesome Shuttle if you want to be a Space Cowboy in FSX.
April 1, 201115 yr how high can you go in fsxIt all depends of the 'service ceiling' of the plane you are flying. The more important altitude is the one you get the fastest speed for the least amount of fuel burn, and that changes with the weather and winds aloft. Jay

For example the good ol' Cessna 172 Skyhawk has a service ceiling of13,500 feet. But (in the U.S.) supplemental oxygen has to be used above 12500 feet. Federal Aviation Regulaton Part 91 Section 91.211 says, in part:(a) General. No person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S.registry--(1) At cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet (MSL) up to andincluding 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the required minimum flight crew isprovided with and uses supplemental oxygen for that part of the flightat those altitudes that is of more than 30 minutes duration;(2) At cabin pressure altitudes above 14,000 feet (MSL) unless therequired minimum flight crew is provided with and uses supplementaloxygen during the entire flight time at those altitudes; and(3) At cabin pressure altitudes above 15,000 feet (MSL) unless eachoccupant of the aircraft is provided with supplemental oxygen.

April 2, 201115 yr I have had the ESDG Citation X at 47,000' unloaded with no problems. It isn't very maneuverable though, flies like it's gonna fall at any moment. I have not tried to get to that altitude with a load of passengers yet.Netscape? Wow. I had forgotten that program exists!
