March 9, 201214 yr well? Which of the DLC planes will get you up there? Is there a weather baloon hidden somewhere? Or an SR-71 even?! JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
March 9, 201214 yr The ones who know won't tell, all other ones, including me of course don´t know.I don't think the dev team just put an aerocache at 85,000 ft to tease us, or to have us wait for DLC number X to accomplish it.I have walked all around Hickam AFB looking for an SR-71, no luck so far. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.

March 10, 201214 yr What other planes can reach that alttitude? 85'000 ft... aint that almost space?Virgin Galactic's "space plane"?, space shuttle?....something we haven't seen yet? This achievement is a frustrating one. Todd Fleck

March 10, 201214 yr I'm hoping for either a Blackbird, X-43 or X-52.If it ends up being a balloon, I'll be disappointed. Jehan Kateli
March 10, 201214 yr Author I won't. I'll hit E and do some freefall.. JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
March 10, 201214 yr I got within 2nm before I could climb any further which isn't saying much as that was only around 38k feet altitude. Double that is required to reach the location of that aerocache. Jason BocheDelta Virtual Airlines Assistant Chief Pilot, B767-300
March 10, 201214 yr I was wondering the same thing for this. I think its a joke on us right now to mess with us but a maybe its a hint that they plan to release a sr-71 sometime. They better. Im looking forward to some big powerful planes. I might even feel like spending money on them as long as its not 15.99 a plane. Still think thats crazy for one plane.

Still think thats crazy for one plane.Still find comments like this funny when FSX aircraft are $25-$35. As long as the quality remains high (as in the RV-6 and Maule) 16$ for an aircraft is a great deal VS FSX. Kevin Miller 3D Artist and developer
March 10, 201214 yr I'm betting that if the SR-71 is offered as DLC, it won't have a cockpit. :DI paid $35 for a Carenado plane and ended up tweaking it as much as I did the stock Goose before I was happy with it. What's with developers who don't put adverse yaw in their planes, anyway? It's two freakin' numbers in the air file! Hint: those two number shouldn't be zero. Good news is I was able to figure out how to do it from that plane, and put adverse yaw in the Goose. That would have been worth $35 to me even if I didn't otherwise like the plane, and I did like it.On the other hand, $55 for a Dodosim 206 Jetranger was money well spent, with no tweaking necessary (or possible, I suspect).Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

On the other hand planes for RoF are $7.62 for single seaters with beautiful cockpits.Flight is different game than FSX, I don't think that FSX pricing rules apply here. At least for me.

March 10, 201214 yr Couldn't agree more with you... Most forget completely how much they really spent on add-on aircraft for MSFS9,X, etc...The default aircraft in FLIGHT look as detailled and accurate as the top add-ons I ever had for FS9/FSX, including those from RealAir and A2A!!!!
