Spaceflight?

Postby Mobius » Mon Mar 27, 2006 9:14 pm

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.

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 ;)

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

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... ;)...!

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.... ;D
