ive recently had the M jug at 46k wasn't really trying to do anything special tho

Sounds about right.  I think it was a 152 that got up that high, but honestly cant recall.

Maybe we should start setting records by plane?

There was a BBs challenge once as to how high you could get in a Me163.  Offline I was able to reach somewhere over 95K when my entire plane dissapeared from my view.

The trick in the 163 at that alt is that it's both stalling from lack of airflow and shuddering from high speed so you have to walk a tightrope to keep it climbing.

Also, at 90K the AH terrain dissapeared meaning instruments only then, as I said, at about 95K the entire cockpit dissapeared.

I was, however, able to keep control, descend and land which was also part of the challenge.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Mine was also simular in the Claw , I climbed so high that the map looked like a tiny  dot.  Wish we could have another claw night that was alot of fun.

 And BE stated he got 95k, so icepacs claim is untrue?
