I would really like the possibility of flying a really fast plane or rocket into orbit. Amazing creations like the https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1KUw39/Heavy-Lift-Rocket
would finally be worth building. You could make some challenges like shooting a plane into orbit or building an armored orbitor to snipe enemy units. Or what about space races? you could end the fog and start the obit at maybe 250,000-500,000 ft.. I know it would be a lot of work to program space engines, less gravity and stuff like that, but Im sure that a lot of players would really enjoy and use that feature.
Absolutely
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!
Good idea but remember the game engine cant even handle convoys ( 5 planes in one creation) on 1.5 GB RAM device ......with 10 wing guns the game starts to lag if mods gonna make Flares it will be buggy or smooth but buggy if you drop more and more ...right? So an orbit ...clouds and doze will make more lag but i like the idea really
SR/KSP?
To simulate orbit, you would need a huge spherical planet and Newtonian mechanics, which would kill all non-PCs.
An example for a good rocked which could use that feature
