I was testing Rons Fantastic F102 when I came across one of the mesh anomalies we see from time to time. Normally I switch out of whatever aircraft I am in into a helo & fly to the bottom of it to see just how deep it is.
This time I thought I would try it in an aircraft & what better one that the one I was presently in. I knew I could make it to the bottom easy enough but getting back out would be the trick.
Here are a series of shots of that trek. As you can see I was riding the speed break into the hole & all the way down. As I dove I positioned myself as close to the one end of the hole as I could to give me room to pull out of my dive. When I figured I was as low as I dare I started to pull out. I did black out & switch to external view to see where I was going.
Amazingly at that "low" of an altitude FS must model the air as extremely dense because as I lit the burner & started my journey back up I was accelerating. Once I started getting close to the surface again I started loseing speed
This little "stunt" was the most fun I have had in FS in a very long time & Rons beautifull F102 was icing on the cake!
