Short hilarious clip from testing stuff and things. Model credit goes to @Merker. Song: David Bowie- Space Oddity Is there an unofficial DCS world altitude record?
Ground control to Major Missile Ground control to Major Missile Take your guidance system and put your seeker on Ground control to Major Missile (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven...) Commencing countdown, engines on (Six, Five, Four, Three...) Check Ignition, and may your position be with you (Two, One, Liftoff!) This is Ground Control to Major Missile You've really made the grade And the pilot wants to know whose position you wear Now it's time to leave the rail if you dare This is Major Missile to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in the most peculiar way And the targets look very different today For here And I'm sitting in an tin-can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do Though I'm past One hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still And I think my GEA knows which way to go Tell my pilot I love them very much They know Ground Control to Major Missile Your motor's off, there's something wrong Can you hear me Major Missile? Can you hear me Major Missile? Can you hear me Major Missile? Can you- Here and am I floating 'round my tin-can Far above the Moon Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do
Also very interesting that DCS give the world a curvature, even tho the DCS maps are actually flat, not accounting for the actual curvature of the earth
It was still going up even after it pointed down because it had already reached escape velocity and would've had to stand on the brakes a whole lot longer to halt the ascent :):):) Pretty amazing, considering its not KSP!
Really no point other then to see if there were game limitations. But 1,042,740 ft guess that means there is no "wall" to speak of. Personally I thought it was hilarious.
What was that. Some ballistic missile ? :). I like the moment that it lost stability because it got effectively out of atmosphere, and the aerodynamic fins no longer worked. Even miniscule difference between thrust vector and the center of mass would cause rocket to lost control - just like here. Such thing can't get into space and not lose control without any non-aerodynamic ways of ensuring stability.
