• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Mach limit?

Does anyone the Mach-limits for FS98?
The plan is editing the airfile for supersonic flights around 5 -6 Mach.
 
I don't know about FS98 but from memory the FSX (FS9?) upper limit is 3.2. (If I'm wrong someone will put me right!)
 
Thanks mgh, I remember I had flown with a SR-71 pretty close to 3.5, but that is longer ago. I had seen someone loaded a supersonic concept jet for FS2004 reaching M 4.69 on flightsim.com, so I was interested if there is a big difference in simulators.
 
The 3.2M limit affects the Mach tables in the .air file. I don't think there's anything to stop an aircraft flying faster than than that but its aerodynamic coefficients would be those for 3.2M regardless.
 
I just had a testflight with the Sr-71, with modified airfile, it should have been faster than the usual airfile, but could only reach M3.0 rather than 3.5
