I was playing around in netplay, and was able to get this thing vertical for a loooooooong time! and i bailed out and that trip took forever!

It can go high but the Me-163 can go really high, 323,000m I managed after an hour or so of flying lol.

Can never get Me-163 to stay vertical, so thats gonna be long trip

  IL2 will reach the space age, I promise.

Yeah, as I said an hour or so XD however because it doesn't suffer from loss of controls at high altitude/speed etc as much as the BI-6 it is okay to keep climbing much higher.

Unlimited fuel is nice sometimes, now how much fuel would a 163 need to go that far at a constant burn rate...?

More than the luftwaffe has.

Maybe the modders can look into improved textures from extreme heights in the future?

Now we have to actually model the earth in IL-2, then the moon so we can fly to it

after il2 sturmovik, S2 soyouz

I suspect that it's only going so high (163 as well) because it doesn't take into account altitudes above a certain height. Similar to how the MiG-21 ran into problems because IL2 doesn't handle speeds over Mach 1 properly (it just "breaks" last I recall reading and does not behave like the real world).

So what was the absolute highest in the BI-6? Screenshots show 135,690 feet. That the highest you went?

I remember a Flightsimulation in 1998 with F-16 I tried, it was so crap graphically , it flew from alone vertically, when I released the stick. Too much throttle and arcade settings. We left it run to see how far it goes, after 4 hrs Win95 all of a sudden crashed.
There was a crappy sky above 20,000m w. pixelated Stars, till it crashed, the same lousy sky, my buddy joked we were half way to moon, then dead. The funny is, there wasn't any moon.
