The 163's engine cuts out under negative G's.  If, in fact, thats what the real ones did, and I can only assume that the in-game version is modeled after the real thing, then I would assume they had a way of re-firing the engine.

As to getting one to 45K, I chased a P-51 to almost 40K in one one day.  At ~38K it started to shudder and slightly above that it went into a death stall that I wasn't able to get contol of again until I was under 10K.  I'm not arguing your ex-pilots recollection, just pointing out the 163's limit in the game.

I love flying the 163.  Leave it alone.

I've had this happen in a 163 too - I think what causes this is actually a bug in the flight model when you get up too high.  I put the 163 in a shallow climb under power, and what I think happened was that my ground speed (as opposed to indicated) got up near Mach 1 and the plane began to buffet when I got up high.  I cut power and it stopped immediately, and I was able to continue climbing after that.  

I don't have much use for the 163 unless it is a scramble to stop an HQ raid, but they might as well leave it in for people that like it.

What is your assertion here?  That the 163 shouldn't have a throttle?  If you have a point to make regarding the modeling of something, do so with some facts and not conspiracy theories about us.

What evidence do you have that the Komet is modelled incorrectly?  Do you have any data to back up your assertions?
