For a DX9c related issue, I uninstalled the demo from my current system.

I would like to know what people think of high altitude characteristics in FSX i.e. how does the aircraft handle at high altitudes, 15000' +

I did not have time to carry out these tests myself.

I am trying to establish if this sim embodies a particular fault which is present in another MS sim, since I will be compiling dynamics for FSX.

Info appreciated.

The only thing i really know is engines and aircraft dont work at 56,000,000 ft  ;D

Quite realistic then...

At that altitude probably not much different from FS9. It still uses the same flight modeling FS has always used. Now higher up is a different matter. I think the altitude limit is much higher but you still run into air that is so thin you have no control whatsoever.
