Timberleaf Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Do you think MSFS 2020 will simulate low Earth orbit (i.e.: SpaceX vehicles to ISS, or the like)? They already said they rendered the Sun more accurately for seasonal sky placement, time of day, the stars in space... Did they say the planets will be visible?

chicagorandy Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I have heard a rumor ( OK.... I'm making up a rumor) that MFS 2020 will include a Space-X Mars mission. The downside being it will take about 7 months of game play to complete the one-way journey, so likely only REALLY die-hard flight simmers will try it.

loki Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 At the moment they've talked about modelling the atmosphere up to 65,000', though I wouldn't be surprised if this gets raised at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Didn't the U2 and SR-71 fly at 80? Should go up to their at least. I think I've been up to 80 in the U2 and SR-71 myself in FS2004. I have flown up to 65 with my F-22 in FSX. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

mborgia Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I have had the Xtreme Prototypes X-15's well over 250,000 feet and to nearly Mach 4. Aerodynamic controls stop working at that altitude and FSX does not model for control thrusters. One must plan a gradual pitch over to maintain angle of attack going over the top of the climb. But it works. Great view too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FencerSu24 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I mean, these sorts of altitudes aren't irrealistic, the MiG-25 has climbed up to 120k+ feet and regularily conducted recon missions at ridiculously high altitudes over Israel and Pakistan, so I don't see why we couldn't climb that high.

TommyJ Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Wow, that would be awesome. If with updates there were different space opportunities. Thanks to many space companies, this topic is now more relevant than ever. It would be really great if the capabilities of launching their satellites into low-earth orbit were also added. What did you hear about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest White Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 In the UK the launch vehicle for LEO is made. Besides, there is european micro launcher made for testing the electrical systems under the high gravitational force while allowing the rocket to be landed safely with the use of a parachute recovery system.
