It has always been possible to go supersonic with the right flight and engine models for an aircraft. I modded the C172 to be able to go to the max sim speed of around 2700 KTAS (with crash detection disabled). In one of the recent updates they even added some version of "mach tuck" as you go transonic.

The aerodynamics of an airfoil or fuselage operating in the supersonic regime are much different then in the subsonic regime. There are also major impacts on how for example engine inlets work to manage shockwaves and ensure the engines stay happy. Just because you can change some parameters and get a fast KIAS value doesn't mean it's being properly simulated. AMD 3950X | 64GB RAM | AMD 5700XT | CH Fighterstick / Pro Throttle / Pro Pedals

Good point, they definitely have some work to do on realism in the high speed/high altitude regimes. Control surfaces and engines (with automixture) still work at 275,000 feet for example. I was just pointing out that there has never been a hard speed limit at or below mach 1 in fs2020.
March 23, 20215 yr I really just want a C-130, and any other kind of military Transport aircraft. Fighters are fun too but those are lower priority for me.

I think I saw something on Twitter earlier today that MAIW are making progress bringing their military traffic to MSFS. I'm not seeing anything on their website or forums.

Lockheed Martin has P3D and they are the manufacturer of C-130. 😉

Well Iris Simulations do a Alenia C-27J Spartan, (which is sort of a C130 minus two engines) for P3D and FSX: https://store.irissimulations.com.au/product/iris-airforce-series-battlefield-airlifter-fsxp3d/
March 24, 20215 yr Someone ported UKMILL's C17 (with permission), it uses the 747 cockpit. There's a patch made by someone else to make the lights, flight model and fuel more accurate https://flightsim.to/file/10204/c-17-globemaster-working-cockpit-wip https://flightsim.to/file/10705/c-17-globemaster-updated-flight-model Perfect for those runs between BGTL and CYLT Edited March 25, 20215 yr by Tuskin38
March 25, 20215 yr I came across this magnificent freeware military aircraft by accident while perusing flightsim.to. I checked it out and its modeling improvements and by golly, this is a beauty! It's the msfs 747 cockpit and it looks great inside the craft. I did one T/O and one final approach, both of which were butter. Lots of fine liveries to boot.

March 25, 20215 yr Is that UKMIL C-17 a full portover (IE: Native MSFS flight modeling) or just the FSX model run through the model converter?

November 10, 20232 yr Not seen this one before: https://msfsaddons.com/2023/11/10/freeware-c-17-globemaster-for-msfs-receives-major-updates/ Cockpit looks very dated, but the rest of it looks much better.
