Personally, I was not happy with the Alphasim SR-71. There's much more to it than that, but those are the basics. You start at 33,000 feet, start slowly descending to 30,000 and mach 1.2, and then you pitch up and off you go. To get the Alphasim SR-71 really moving, you need to have the aircraft configured for the climb well. To go mach 3 at altitudes like the airliners fly requires going thousands of MPH through the air, which no blackbird ever could do. I'm sure you're familiar with KTAS, KCAS, KEAS, KGS and KIAS, right? The real SR-71 did mach 3.2 at 80,000 feet, but was only pushing air aside like it was going 360KEAS because the air is so thin up there. You cannot argue with the price of freeware, but knowing the real thing would go over Mach 3 and 80,000 feet made me uninstall it.The Alphasim SR-71 is no joke-it's unforgiving to fly and will not climb to 80K and accelerate to mach 3 unless you fly it exactly like it needs to be flown in real life. I couldn't get it to go higher than just over 40,000 feet and speed fell off to the point of stalling at that altitude.
