Congo spire:



Lat. S 0*31.65, Long. E20* 9.37, Elevation, main spire, 24,000 feet.  Yes 24 THOUSAND feet.

Visible from FZGN, Boende, Congo, heading 250.

Looks like a nice place to build a space port.

Woah, what the heck is that? haha. Sure does look like a great spot for a space port! Or make a great spot for base jumping!  ;D

Both!

A result of tectonic movement.

Albeit a rather surprising one.

Forget the terrain glitch, what is that you're flying?

Pendercraft FS2004  Land of the Giants "Spindrift" Demo.  Though I havent seen a release of a final product yet.  It needed FX tweakage to use in FSX, though.





Works as-is in FS9, but it's a demo, no VC, no instrumentation except for a GPS.

Flies like a bat out of hades, too.  No, I take that back.  It blows the fur off the bat, and then roasts it in the exhaust blast. I think I've gotten it up to 1700+ KIAS at about 5000 feet, and cruised across the Atlantic on the Equator at 1400 KIAS at about 25 feet in a bit over two hours, give or take (I was feeling silly that day, but managed to set the stab trim perfectly and only gained about a foot or so in altitude for the trip).

The spire and chasm in FS9 scares the crap outta me. 80,000ft high and 100,000ft deep...

Yep,...first time I have seen a pic of this strange craft,but I'd LOVE to give her a try. Anyone have a link for the FS9 version of this critter?

I tried to find the Pendercraft site, but I think it's defunct. I'll have to see if it's in my download archive and if you like, send you the .zip. It may take a few days, my home computer is getting a "perfessional cleansing".

Thanks BOikat. I'd appreciate that. No hurry. One of my flight computers was fried after a re-power up after a power outage that hit north central Ohio about 2 weeks ago,so I am down to one computer to run my sim. The one that was fried had a LOT (200 gig ) of my add-ons stored on its hard drive. ANYWAY,hahaha...if you can find the zip,I'd be quite happy. If you cant,I still appreciate the attempt. I did download MMr. Pendercrafts Flying sub from the TV show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. That makes about the 4th time I downloaded it. Hoping the air file was improved. It has autopilot,but it wont maintain altitude,or vertical speed. In banking while on autopilot,it decends like a rock rather than keeping altitude,and it banks to nearly 90 degrees,and knifes down vertically like a skipping stone. I really like the craft. Even did a black diamond repaint on it (charcoal black with a super reflective shine) , but all is for naught if she doesnt fly well,...and it doesnt.

I had to go and see for myself, WoW! In FSX Gold + Acc

Three spikes I'm at 12,000ft in the pic, well its easy to find take off FZGN do a 180 and you cant miss it.

Thanks for an interesting flight it looks like the rivers the centre spike.

Yeah,...I know what that is! That is the Tower of Saruman, Orthanc, of Isengard! Seems you've found the lost lands of Middle Earth !
