yes, you read that right. I proudly present the future of spaceflight - the Cessna. with it’s incredible top speed of 302 km/h and it’s incredible pressurised cabin, it sure is the future of spaceflight.
beginning with a somewhat hairy ascent thousands and thousands of feet up in the air followed by spectacular views across the globe, with an instant descent and a smooth touchdown back home you’re guaranteed to love it.
anyway - who needs a Tesla to fly into space when you’ve got a Cessna?
still not sold on the idea…? these quick snaps will for sure change your mind ;)
I just wanted to practice a crosswind landing for my solo hahaha the whole space thing was completely accidental!!
I just jumped in on solo and set up an approach at EGTR (Elstree Airdrome) runway 08 and when I loaded in I wanted to adjust the weather for a big crosswind. I had the game paused for probably 40ish seconds while I was playing about with the weather getting the angle of the wind, gusting speed etc right to make a crosswind.
so what I think happened (im pretty sure at least) is while the game was paused the recording had some bug where it kept ascending the aircraft at crazy speeds, but while I was flying I didn’t notice it. Once I had finished playing with the weather the aircraft was how I had left it. I went on to practice my landing and landed it and then I went to the reply file to review my landing and see how smooth it was and get some pointers and self-feedback etc.
Anyway, I open the replay file expecting a normal repay (as I had been flying it in the game) and I start the replay and while I had the game paused, in the replay the aircraft started shooting up and tbh I really wasn’t complaining as it was super cool!!
So if you want to try it - try solo mode on approach into runway 08 at EGTR and leave the game paused for 40/60seconds and fly about a bit and then exit and have a look at the replay file… and you never know ;)
space is so cool right!! I mean we’re basically fellow astronauts ;)
I was doing it at EGTR runway 08 but it will probably work at most airports…? I think its more of a bug with the replay system rather than the actual airport itself!
