I couldn't help but notice that the glider's approach to the runway was shot out of sequence. one minute its many miles away, the next instant its on final and only a couple of hundred feet off the ground...then its back again miles away and thousands of feet higher. You can't fix that?
@bryanttillman yes your correct, this was mainly due to inexperience with the methods and tools that i had to use at the time.... this video is 4 years old after all..... at the time i shot it i had to do all my flying from out of cockpit for each scene.... now i could do that with FSrecorder and record the whole track and then do all the cut scenes that your so fond of. I have pondered the thought of doing a redux when MicroSoft Flight is released.
wow dude at that altitude your wings will have much less airflow (well less drag too), but you'l need much more spped to keep it up, i'm just beginning with soaring but i'll ask my instructor next time i see him if it can be true, and if so, what took you up there?? don't say thermals or wave or ridge because it's such impossible and i ain't no bastard
WOW you didn't just say that and really believe it did you. Bob Harris took a Grob 102 sailplane too 49,009 on February 17, 1986 which was broken on August 29, 2006 by Steve Fossett when he set the world altitude record for gliders over El Calafate, Argentina at 50,722 feet.
I never thought this video would cause such a debate over facts that are easily research-able, also it worries me that there are so many people that will believe anything without a little research on there own behalf..... don't take my word for it... google it.
What i don't like about FSX is that it doesn't have realistic flight dynamics. you can't get ridgle, wave, or thermal( freeflight) lifts. And if you try to do a spin, the aircraft will spin/flip out of control
@lawrencedesjardins It all depends on the aircraft model and the aircraft configuration file. The Aircraft.cfg file determines the characteristics and handling of the plane.
Everything from the basic weight/balance and how effective the control surfaces are, to the complex settings of the wing chord and dihedral. Even the hydraulic PSI settings can be adjusted in this file for determining how effective your braking can be. Most of the realistic models are usually payware.
You're about right...last time I heard they were trying for the 100,000ft mark a few years back but not sure if its been acheived yet. But the current/last record was somewhere in the 50,000ft mark
Ummm well we have been producing little oxygen bottles and rubber air maske for over 70 years no and BTW there is an air takn in this model i belive... But dont worrie no human was harme in the filming of this video....Shhhhhhh dont tell any one.... its all fake...
even they wore pressurized suits or they had oxygen masks,but the flight is recorded in the guinnes book of world records ,and from the fai as the highest flight ever in a glider
On real life flights like these the pilots wear military pressure suits. Minimum allowed oxygen partial pressure is about 140hPa, or 2psi. At 50k feet the ambient pressure is roughly 1.5psi. Thus even at 100% pure oxygen you'd still be a bit short. Spacesuits aren't needed though.
@KarriKoivusalo Ask any ex SR-71 pilot and he'll tell ya about the "full pressure suits" they wear. One pilot in Palmdale, CA (Edwards) said, "you know those white streaks in the sky that the commercial jets make?... Well... we see the same thing looking down".. .. yup..I was in awe.
no the atmosphere is much too thin at this hight i had to set the setting from my map menu and also i tweaked the weather just a bit for cloud layers for the video... Pretty unrealistic scenario of course and i had to ride the spoilers down to about 20,000 feet just to keep from going over speed so quickly however it was alot of fun and my first Movie and i learned quite a bit from it.
i have the same processor(3,4ghz pentium 4) in my pc. but I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card. (old one is a X600 to a new one HD2900). do you think the processor can handle it?
I would say yes your cpu can handle it, however FSX is much more demanding on the cpu then the video card under DirectX 9 . For better preformance goto a Intel dual core or better quad core cpu. I now have a Intel 6600 2.4 GHZ OC @ 3.25 GHZ and Nvidia 8800GT. Frame rates 27 FPS
