Um, probably means it doesn't climb as well now right?
Made me laugh though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Caught that too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I think it means the horsepower on the b17 is now adjusted for altitude, I was wondering how those buffs were always so much higher then me.

LOL!!! Yeah, it made me think too. If the B-17 had a rocket booster climb rate, it will now climb like a brick.

actually, I believe that is referring to fixing a bug that would let the B-17 maintain an ungodly ROC once it hit 42000 ft or so. There's a thread in the game bugs forum (I think that's the forum) about it. Pretty interesting reading =)

I believe 214CaveJ's got it right. There was a certain bit of easteregg code in the program that if you climbed high enough in a B-17, rocket boosters would kick in and carry you even higher, and faster than superman. Sorry they fixed it before I got the chance to try it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif). Only heard about it myself the other day.
