i am working on a model of burt rutan's white knight/spaceship1 system. i need to know how to ge5t a rocket engine to work, if fs9 will support flying above 100000ft and if altimeters and speed gauges are available for high speeds or altitudes and can they be made. also is there any way to make the trailing flaps fold up to mock the "feathering" maneuver.....doc 

If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.

The upper limit seems to be 100,000 where although your still in flight and pointing in the right direction to gain altitude (up that is) you dont actually seem to gain any extra height you just appear to 'hover'
Good luck with the model though, it's a fantastic looking aircraft.

You might check this out.
There is a program called "Orbiter". I havent used it, but others have raved about it. You might check it out for compatibility.
