The atmosphere now extends to 100,000 feet instead of 50,000.

That means that the atmosphere now extends to 100,000 feet instead of 50,000 feet.

Hehe, no what it means is that IF you had a plane in the game that could even climb that high, it would be able to go higher than 50,000 feet, rather then just hit an invisible ceiling.
Now WHY they did this, I couldn't tell ya.

It's an improvement to the engine, which could in the future involve aircraft which can go above 50,000 feet.

The P-38L's ceiling was 44,000 feet.  That's 6,000 feet away from the old ceiling.  Now imagine if Korean War fighters were introduced.

The old C47 bug back in AH1 was fun. Take off from one of the high alt bases on the uterus map and set it to autoclimb. I think once you hit 35,000 feet or so, the turbojets kicked in and you would quickly reach altitudes of 200,000 feet and higher. I think I have a film but the old films arent compatable with AH2

No, but F-86, F-84, F-80, F9F-5, F3D and MiG-15 might be reasonable clues....

There was no "ceiling" before. The game simply stopped processing air densities and whatnot at 50,000 feet. Above that was simply "more of the same" and all TAS and other computations stopped. The aircraft really can't get that high without wind assist, but they CAN get that high, and it was a glaring flaw in the game engine. I'm glad they put enough thought into it to extend it way up to 100,000 feet. Mind you, nothing could go up that high, really.

Now that the atmosphere extends higher, is there a point when your plane is just stressed beyond use and explodes, now? Something where TAS is way high and IAS is well below stall, or something?

as much money as I have paid these guys, even back when $2 an hour resembled monthly bills in excess of $300, for YEARS......they should give me a X-1 to tool around in.  Hell, I deserve it.  They OWE me an X-1!

HAHA!!

A F86 and a Mig 15 would certainly be cool :D
