10% fuelling, limited fuel off, full flight/aero difficulty options enabled; rest as you like, and grab a book to read while trimming flight/climb pattern and post a pic - if you bail, but then can quickly trim plane & set power before the pilot jumps, the plane will contine unless it doesn't.
But the pic would need the pilot (your still in control,) in the plane to qualify yes?

you, sir, are a genius

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).

Yep you are correct about that. Before 4.101m, IL-2 only modelled altitudes with accuracy up to 10,000m (think it's now 15,000m). Same with Supersonic speeds. Once you reached Mach 0.8, a linear degree of drag was applied and aircraft exploded when they approached the sound barrier. Now, we can defined the drag parameters based on aircraft type and set more realistic sonic flight values and airframe limits

That was all in 4.09 before Il-2 1956, though, right?

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.

I remember a fun game, probably not too realistic, also crap graphics. It was called TFX (Tactical Fighter Xperiment) and offered F-117, EF-2000, and F-22 as the main rides. It had some interesting action and maps and stuff (offline campaigns), but there were bugs....

Like one desert map a MiG-21 would not die. He was pulling odd really tight manuvers and when I finally saddled up and got some guns hits on him, he pulled vertical.... and

well he kept vertical!

I could not follow. There was a screen allowing you to see the info of the enemy target. It showed him leveling off around 160,000 feet and he just kind of orbited there, mocking me. I left him, wondering if he would come down or run out of gas or what, but he never did.

Buggy game! Fun for its time, though!

haha, nothing beats remembering old, buggy games. such as Driv3r and other games
