It use to be that if you went over 35k you were immediately sent to the deck. Guess that's not in force anymore.

Adjusting fuel burn doesn't affect the 163, it will still burn the fuel at the same rate.

163s use rocket fuel, changing fuel burn doesn't affect it.

DEAR, how did you do that?  I have trouble getting the 163 over 60K.

I think my record in a propeller plane is something like 53K in a Jug in the TA.

Off line.  Change from 2x to somthing else.  0.2x perhaps?

You can change it all you want...but it won't affect the 163's fuel burn.

163 has an independent fuel burn. You can make Fuel burn 100 times as fast as it does and 163 will have same flight time.

Go offline, Turn wind on with a full uplift (127mph uplift) for all alts. When you get to a certain alt, you can see that the sun is a 2d object in the game. Then if you want to break the speed of sound turn the wind off, turn your engine on (163) and go straight down.

I had a 163 up to 67,900 ft once in the TA. No wind and launched from A1 (o ft base).

I think that is approaching it's limit of climb-able altitude, with no outside assists.

I think AHI had a 35K ceiling.

AHII had a 50K ceiling, but that was recently upped to 100K with one of the recent updates (I remember reading that on the updated features list).

I got up to about 135k in a P15 with no wings, I also got up to 100k in a B17 with no wings. I'm sure some of you old farts will remember this fun bug. Ahh days of the AH ICBM launcher.

I'm pretty sure that when I climbed to 67K it was back in the AHI days. I don't recall a 35K ceiling (or a 50K ceiling for that matter).

The earth did indeed look round from that height, and it took way longer to come down than it did to get up there <G>

cheers.
