Hi Vivian, Why wait for a NASA Shuttle? There already exist several models to see the /interesting/ effects at altitude, some which have changed with the new ambient values. One of said aircraft _is_ in CVS.
I am getting requests to make spaceships for Flightgear, faster than I can possibly make them. Since helijah is so prolific at making new aircraft, perhaps we should ask him to help out in this, maybe with a real NASA Space Shuttle in our aircraft hanger, we could get upper atmosphere flights to be more realistic. I keep telling people, Flightgear is for flying near the ground, so adding starships to my lineup is not a priority. I think this says something about what some are expecting Flightgear to become, or deliver.
