Hate to break it, but you ain't the first to find that, someone posted a
week back about it..... in rec.aviation.simulators. "ThrashATL" wrote in message nk.net... "Bill" wrote in message ... Guyana has some nice scenery and a large water fall. I forget the name off hand. Just curious about your descent. How did the altimeter react? Can it record 100,000ft? Bill The altimeter won't show it but the slew mode altitude does. That 61,000' spike is what I called a LANDMARK. |

Hmm, anyone know if there's a ballistic recovery chute system modelled for
FS? jsa "Randy L." wrote in message ... I found a rather unusual thing to do in FS9. There is a REALLY spectacular elevation goof near Kamarang, Guyana (SYKM) using the default scenery. There is an incredible spire that extends to an elevation of +61,000 ft, and right next to it an even deeper sinkhole that goes down an unbeleivable -101,000 ft! Tonight I slewed the Cessna 172 to the very top of the rock spire, took the aircraft off slew, and started free-falling with no engine. I was able to guide my Cessna into the sinkhole, where I continued to fall another +100,000 feet, trying to keep away from the walls of the hole, until the walls of the sinkhole became too narrow for the wings. This would be an incredible virtual sky-dive, as it took me many minutes to fall the +160,000 feet. I wonder if there is a parachutist that is compatible with FS9? Randy L. -- "Americans are despised for reasons that have less to do with who we are and what we have, and more to do with the dictatorial political and religious leaders who seek to shift attention away from the misery they impose on the people they control and toward the United States and others that are guilty of no more than succeeding where they have failed.

yeah that would be great!, what i wish would be a mp addon that would allow
people to do skydiving, you could even do the smoke thing and try to do group configuratins together, that would be tons of fun "pr" wrote in message ...

Well, you could download the AirWave Xtreme Hang Glider as the next best
thing. "Randy L." wrote in message ... Bill, While in free-fall I selected the 2-D cockpit view, then pressed "W" until the cockpit was completly turned off. This gave me a good unobstructed view with no isntruments, as if I were parachuting. I did press shift-z though, so I could get a text representation of my speed & altitude at the top of the screen. I also had the flaps extended fully so I wouldn't fall too fast & overstress the aircraft. I wish there were skydiver add-on for FS2004, so I could try this with a real parachute. Randy L.

Then you'll be happy to know that one is currently under final development, with an operating CAPS system! Another crew is working on the SR22 and it is going to be fabulous! BTW, did you happen to d/l Bob C's delightful Lancair Legacy? Talk about a SWEET aircraft! Wow! Bill -- Fr.
