Just to make sure, this Aerocache is in F2P game but is it reachable in free planes? Bing search from game isn't too accurate, I found on YT that this was altitude over 33k ft and closest I was near cache was 6.6 km away when I teleported right over Mauna Loa and couldn't find it.

Is it in game that high to??

I was reluctant to buy the extra content at first, so I was messing around doing various achievements first.

 

I tried to do this one with the PT-17 Stearman, I managed to get it up to I think it was 22,150 or something like that before I got bored and gave up.. Took too much farting about. Got it totally piss easy with the P-52 Mustang though.

Did some checking..

 

I made a save at a hight of 37k in the PT-17 Stearman and tried it on another Gamertag. It worked fine. Will work great for High Flying Glider. Even awarded 32k Achievement instantly.

 

I can't remember where it is, I'm sorry. I just put the plane near where I thought I remembered it being.. Just try and glide to it if it IS indeed close by to here. I also put the planes fuel to low to help (it's weight).

 

If this is of no help at all let me know exact position and I will ajust it for you.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Here is another one, going other direction at 39k. It's just starting to fall at 39,100ft. Trim is all the way back btw so ajust accordingly.

 

I will feel really stupid if this is absolutely no where near the aerocache. even if it's not and you show me exacty location at I can put it right next to it so no biggy.

http://www.filedropper.com/curvature saved flight for curvature of the earth in the Icon A5. ENJOY THE MASSIVE MASSIVE DROP!!!!!!

 

I'm suprised by how graphically impressive the game is at that height.

 

There's a major bug with the A5 over water explained here http://msflightforum.myfastforum.org/about243.html

High Flying Glider: 38,000ft in the Icon A5.

 

 

Even though it's not likely it will be required to glide far, I chose this plane as it's much lighter than the Stearman, and has the same glide ratio (10.0:1).

 

 

I saved it right above the volcano as shown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man, I don't know what kind of skills you used to climb to 38k! I tried everything but can't exceed 15k in icon a5 ... Can you tell me how you get there? :)

 

 

 

Also, would you mind if you move icon a5 just little ahead with same altitude (say 5nm radius of aerocache)? I tried several times but miss aerocache very closely ..the best I could do is 32900ft and i missed it just above my head! :confused:

Good job, but its surely not possilbe to travel from the Honolulu island to the volcano island where we can achieve "High Flying Glider" aerocache! By the time I reached mid-way (Kahului island?) icon a5 was dropped to 14k altitude :mad:
