Title: So... how high am I?
Post by: FDutchmn on September 29, 2001, 07:12:00 AM

Take a wild guess...  :))  I released my drunks at this alt... I could not confirm if they actually made it to the ground...

Of course they didn't reach the ground.

Drunks haven't got space suits and so they all died in the vacuum.

I haven't the faintest idea how high you were.

How'd you get there?

lol. I see the bloo curve of the AH "world" below  :D

 And that would put you about 100 yards from the docking module on the International space station.

I tryed that too. Lets just say that La-7 has unlimited sealing  :) I was flying up untill there was no up or down. My altimiter just kept on going until I got bored after 15 min of seeing nothing. I shut of the .wind comand and dove. La-7 is faster then x-15  :D. The only thing that broke was rudder. And me after very ruff landing...

I was on when he did it, he was at 90 K +

He was just able to keep on climbing, there's a bug in the wind or flight model.

The paratroops will be down by early next week.

90K? Stratospheric, man!  :)

Was this in the MA or some H2H host?  Sounds like H2H.

90K?? Nahh!! Try 120K!!  ;)

I had to step out for a while and I found my goon still flying after I came back.  Then I fired the numerous RATO units, which I stole from the darn Knights (of some had Bishops labels) that I stored in the compartment of my goon.  At some points, I was doing 4.0K/min climb!!  :eek: and doing near 300kias level flights in space!!!   :eek:
