Has anyone seen this vid? http://rapidshare.de/files/16545247/spaceshot2.wmv.html

Does this mean that in FSX, we will have the ability to break the almighty 100,000 ft barrier?  I shure hope so, and if so, I think this would really enhance FS, as it would also probably introduce all kinds of new flight dynamics, like we have seen in orbiter, or X-Plane.

It was also mentioned before, but look at how the earth is curved, does that mean now more cylindrical projection of the earth?  Looks interesting....

to me it seems the 100,000 feet limit is still in place, they've just changed the way textures behave as you climb.

I have a very stupid question.

Can you please elaborate on how to download the video?

EDIT:

Never mind, I figured it out.

I believe that M$ did, at the very least, raise the barrier, for once. The barrier was one of the hot topics in the FS community and many people demanded it to be raised.

So, unless M$ decided to make the Earth fall rather than let the viewer increase in altittude, I see no other plausible conclusion that M$ has most likely listened to the community in regards to the barrier.

Impressive !!
Are you shure this is FSX ?
If this is FSX than this is WAY further than FL1000 !!

Man, if this is FSX, it opens the door to all sorts of new stuff

I personally wouldn't like the 100K barrier...it's a Flight Sim...not a Space Sim..there's Orbiter for that...That's my opinion

nice, no stars though

It

Got it over on the LOMAC forums.  I think it is FSX, it incorporates all the new stuff we've seen so far, and the scenery looks exactly the same as the screens of it.

Got it here....http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=15032

So, for the most part, it's not confirmed.

Personally, I'm quite happy flying my GA aircraft around at 2,000 feet AGL...!

There's not a lot to look at in outer space...
..and no-one can hear you scream when your last drop of AVGAS runs out...  :o...!

Space?...it's full of junk... ...!
LOL...!

Paul...... ...!

Boy that is really interessting, Not that it can be done, but by M$ mixing the availability to add somewhat space is really different. Most people would think that to just fly in a space sim like orbitor. But I would like to see more of this, this will also open a area of new design and aircraft physics, somewhat a new dual air file etc....

So, for the most part, it's not confirmed.

Not much about it yet is confirmed.

That sounds awesome I cannot wait till something like that comes out.Just wonder how many patches will be coming along afterwards.
