The max speed wind can be set to is 127mph. A 127mph downdraft will make you lose alt alot faster but it will also give you airspeed since the wind is pushing you down in your dive.

Hmmm.  Doesn't work that way in the real world.

Well, I expected that I wasn't the first, but Mach 2!!??  :O :O Really!

I was under the impression that 163s weren't capable of supersonic flight...don't know why though.

Also, whenever I get very high, (at least by my standards), e.g. 60K in a 163, maybe 48K in a jug, I find that my plane seems to flop all over the place.  I think this is due to the thin air, but is there anyway to lessen the effects of this?

Anyway, I'll keep trying
<S>

P.S. do planes run out of fuel very quickly when at higher altitudes?

Pssst, you're missing the point.  You will be approaching the ground 127mph quicker, but your airspeed won't be any higher (hint, the air is going 127mph in the same direction as you).

done 1.2 in a 262 before... i broke my wing tips off so i had less drag.

however since airflow code updates i hit a brick wall in the 262 now, it just wont go to 1.00 anymore it seems?

It looks like you have broken the laws of physics or perhaps it's some quantum physics stuff going on.  One thing for sure, you are producing over 1.3 million gallons of gas every hour.  You are a rich man, a very rich man!   :rock
