• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Area 51M U-2S released!

Looks like a good model. Trouble is - and this is just my personal opinion, and does not reflect on this aircraft - but the U-2 must take forever to get that high, I prefer climbing at a 450 KEAS schedule as Wily knows :ernae:

Lets see some more screenshots - closer upper ones too.
 
In the VC

Ok, the throttle has an airbrake (speedbrake) moveable switch ---use the mouse---so you can vary the angle of the speedbrake. I seem to find the max altitude I can set on the LCD on the left panel is 24,375 meters although it reads 24,384 meters which is 80,000 feet. But I can fly above that.

I prefer flight at 70,000 to 73,000 feet.
