91500 feet, and i was stalling... i was at 100,003 feet.
is that like out of the atmosphere?

No, that's about the highest you can go in FS9

[Dr._Who]

About 4 feets higher acctully, wich isnt possible in FS, the absolute limit is 99.999. So someones pants are on fire me thinks!

Anyway, good job getting that 747 up that high!

[Clipper]

Your posting problem was the blood dripping from your ears at 100,000 feet. Did you take any shots from the exterior of the plane?  :)

[DJ_Zephyr]

At 99,999 ft, I'd think the cabin would start exploding from the pressure difference!  Picture a tin can being crushed from the inside, and imagine a 737 doing that!

Nice altitude, I'll hafta see how fast I can get an F-16 up there!

[navymmw]

that is cool, as long as i'am not on that plane.

[gn85]

I would say that's absolutely remarkable... especially with the gear down and engine power off. :O

[Ivan]

Conventional powered aircraft altitude record is 118898ft... Ye-155 (stripped MiG-25)

[Sytse]

I don't think that's a 747, is it? If it is: WTF, dude!?

[CenturyHangar]

it looks to me like an edited shot.. since the rest of the altimeter numbers are all around 69100 feet...


is it me?

[TSC.]

Well you can slew a 747 up to 91500 - but at 272kias & full throttles it drops like a stone, the 1st time I tried it, I dropped to 45000ft in about 10 - 15 seconds, the 2nd time the plane just went spinning producing this effect:

Anybody else care to try it? Because I know I can't for the life of me control a 747 at 91500ft.

It's not an edit though, the altimeter numbers on the 747 do stop moving above approx 69000ft (in FS9 anyway).

Although with your AP master switch set like this you would have no control what-so-ever:


Notloste seems to be getting the 747 up pretty high aswell so it's definately not an edit:

So, please, can somebody else prove that you can fly a 747 at 91500, because like I said, I can't.

Notloste seems to be getting the 747 up pretty high aswell so it's definately not an edit:

The highest I've ever climbed in the 747 was around 60,000 feet, and that was with no passengers, 20% fuel, full power, full flaps, and gear up.  Once you start tumbling, like in your picture or mine, the plane can actually go higher than the altitude it started off from.  It would probably be VERY hard though with no power and autopilot on. :-/
