FLYING TO THE EDGE OF SPACE - Darkstar Jet Top Gun Maverick Gameplay

[@wtechboy18]

BISNE and ZIMTI are fix locations. Basically virtual waypoints that are used to determine flight paths, especially around airports and stuff where you need people to fly out via a path that's not straight - you set up a couple GPS points and tell people what points to fly when, kinda like how when you're taxiing they just tell you "taxi via Mike, then Bravo 4, then Charlie, hold short of Runway one-seven". Same thing, just in the air.

[@jorggamingcr409]

Thia reminded me of a couple of missions from Ace Combat 3 on ps1, like 20 years ago. There were a coupke of missions, one where you had to pilot a mix between space shuttle and combat jet to take down some satelites and another one where you had to land it from the space to the ground, you had to keep some parameters in order to reenter the atmosphere safe. Obviously technical limitations from the ps1 are wayy uncomparable with what we have today but back then it felt so awesome.

This is 100% percent a real aircraft. I've seen it tested at night and at like 5am from the military air base I live next to. Great video. They also have another one that has a different profile but flies with two to three smaller aircraft next to it. I have no idea what that one is but I've only seen that one once and it was recently, at the beginning of summer. They've also tested or flown is the better word the infamous large triangle that people have talked about for years and thought it was a ufo. IT'S ENORMOUS. No exaggeration, I see the types of planes they fly every day and I've only seen that big triangle twice and both were at the same time and in the same year and never saw it again. 2014 summertime and I and my friends were outside drinking trying not to be loud and we saw it come right over us seconds after it lifted off from the runway. I didn't believe what I saw was real because of the size of it, I thought it had to be multiple aircraft but when it flew over it had just lifted off and we could all see clearly it was one big "plane." I know you won't believe it but it was easily the size of TWO C-17 TRANSPORT AIR both width and length but since it's a pure triangle there's not much toward the top. It was like watching a cruise ship fly over our house. By the way, I live in Michigan right beside Selfridge Air Base.

[@sm3xym3xican76]

The plane you've seen the B2 Spirit bomber. What you're describing perfectly fits the description. If the darkstar did exist they wouldn't be flying it in the middle of a very densely populated area in Michigan, they'd be flying it in the middle of nowhere, Nevada. In addition there are an absurd amount of planespotters in that area and pics would definitely have surfaced by now of a flying darkstar if it existed and was flying in michigan

[@cliffsidegaming9465]

Fun little facts of the dark star, they are actually from what I gathered it’s modeled after the next iteration of the SR-71, The SR-72, the dark star was actually modeled by the company working on the SR-72 and due to it looking so believable during filming, China allegedly re-directed a satellite to snap photos of the dark star thinking it was a real plane, however this could all be false but I remember seeing something about said subject and I do find it quite funny and worth a share!
