How tall exactly is the sim height? Today i built a rather high powered rocket and shoot my self up. It took me about a min or 2 to hit the ground. The second launch i held on even longer and i swear i went into orbit??? i was constantly falling! Is there anouther space layer?

I'm not sure there is a sim height. Make a box and sit on it, you can then move the box on the Z axis to test. I've been above 400m but I know you can go higher. Wonder who's been the highest?

just remember to delete the box before you jump. Taxes on items left in the sky can really be painful. Finding them again isnt easy either, especially if its default sized.

It could be possible there is no practical limit. (But the heiger you go, the less accurate the floating point Z will be)

I seem to remember Nada or BBC saying they went to 4000M before they got tired and teleported home. In other words, it's pretty darn high.

I believe that I have been the highest at 623, but that was way back when. Let's just say that that's one of the reasons that there is now a 400 meter cap lol
