HelloI took my Boeing 777 up to 2.5 million feet using Slew mode. Amazing, the earth was so beatiful and round.Now I need some serious military hardware to experiment with on the edge of space.FS X is great so far.Cheers,Gian

You can modify the thrust scalar setting in a plane's aircraft.cfg file, to get enough power to push your 777 to orbit...RhettAMD 3700+ (@2.5 ghz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (94.47), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian

I wish I could go to the moon! Ive always wanted Flight Simulator mixed with Space Simulator

ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere.http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/No 3D terrain by default, Ive been out of touch with Orbiter for awhile, there are some 3-D addons around, check their forum out.Must haves:OrbiterSound 3.0DeltaGliderIIIhttp://orbiter.dansteph.com/index.php?disp=d

Unfortunately there seems to be a *major* bug, both in the demos and retail.I placed an aircraft at high altitude and then let it fall, just to see what happened. Unfortunately, after falling to about 4 million feet (a few hundred miles) it starts to go up! It stays there, oscillating up and down. It may be that it will never reach the ground.If this is a real bug and not just on my system, then simulating re-entry from very high altitudes will be impossible.Best regards, Chris
