High altitude aircraft : a call to the top-tier aircraft 3PD  !

Featured Replies

We have all seen FS20  impressive vid segments taken at high altitude. 

To see at a 600 km horizon, you need to be at approx. 90,000 feet, if not mistaken (no refraction). Few aircraft fly that high. One is the majestuous Dragon Lady, the  U2. Well not up to that altitude but 700K+ is good enough to have a spectacular view of the Asobo world passing by beneath !

It is high time to have one and the new sim is a golden opportunity for that. Of course you'll have to also simulate the chase car to help the landing :wink: ! 

I know that  the SR71 flies even higher than the U2 and that my favorite French aircraft, the Mirage IV, could fly at FS600. They would be nice too. But nothing beats of old seagull complex landing on its two sets of wheel !
