Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2004 8:32 pmMS has a ceiling of 99,999 feet or so, mainly because it's not a space sim.

Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2004 9:47 pm Well If your looking for a space simulator then try this out. http://www.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/~martins/orbit/orbit.html
It's free and it has a great community with tons of addons. The graphics within the earths atmophere are kinda crapy but the textures outside are pretty great. Here is a good addon site allthough its not updated as frequently or as big as simV.

Also there is a pretty handy forum that will answer a lot of questions. http://orbit.m6.net/v2/boardtalk.asp ;)

Posted: Wed Dec 08, 2004 6:27 amI would suggest x-plane !!
not that beautiful as FS9 but a good combination of
a Flightsim and a space simulator !!
The big advantage. You have an inbuild editor for
aircraft and scenery. And the aerodynamics are calculated
directly from the geometry wich means no config/air file
creation !!
My first choice when I want to do really crazy things like
building a rocket car that makes mach 6 at Edwards.
(puhh that was hard work)
Or building a spacestation where you can dock with your shuttle... or shuttle reentries.. or building a plane that makes mach15.. and so on. And the simulator handles such speeds quite nice.. unlike FS.
give it a try
cheers
