This aroura aircraft also has rocket engines with the scramjets that let it operate outside the atmosphere. Flying in space is wierd though because of there being no friction you don't slowdown and get to insane speeds it took me 20 minutes to slow done enough to enter earths atmosphere again.

it looks amazing, awesome shots. maybe M$ should make some sort of space simulator....but ill guess X-plane  and that other Orbit simulator will do

I'd say X-plane is the more diverse experience.

Sorta you have to download it first though but a mars planet is included with ultra high gravity.

a space simulator is rather difficult to make, I think, 'cause in space there is no atmosphere therefore no air==> no wing's elevation==> no turns, descents, climbs. So you actually have a totally different physics rules.

X-plane simulates this to the finest detail the only reason I was able to slow down was by using vectored thust to point me backwards and putting full rocket engines on.

From my experience as far as you wish but I haven't strayed to far from the earth as I don't wish to get lost.

The entrance to the atmos is pretty damn hard. It is very easy to spin out of control and die.

I'd get x-plane 7.0 when it comes out if I were you. Its a great simulator and the mod community is actually very big.

unrealistic.... Mars actualy has 0.36 gees, so that information is innacurate, but still neat. have you been there, and what would happen if you just dove into the atmosphere, straight down, without slowing down, and where can i get x-plane?

Maybe its a different planet. I don't use it much.

If you dive straight down you would most likely overstress and or spin out of control

what if you turned damage off, if you can, and try it. you will probably turn into a huge, flaming ball.

How about actually trying it? (just a thought) ;D
