is there some way to actually set a max cieling for an aircraft, and has anyone tested by flying up as high as you can go?

I was testing the ceiling for the A10 which should be about 48,000ft, but I got DT'd at around 45,000ft, just wondering if this was a freak DT or it's just what happens if you fly to high

BTW, big thanks to Raider, he found that the A10 was killing 1 engine at about 30% throttle, and trying to sort out the problem I've stubbled across some very wierd findings...

engines and props are very strange things, they wont accept just any old value you give them, I really don't know how it'a all tied together.. but unless you get it right the engine wont work, the game kills itafter 2 hours of changing stuff, flight test, change again, flight test.. etc etc etc I finaly got a satisfactory result that allows the approximate top speed and doesn't kill the engine.. anyone got any idea what the deal is about all this?

Thanks Raider.. it's been a pain to sort out, but better in the long run

Hehehe, Not when you fly too high.... I made a mistake editing an FM and was able to go over 100,000'! From up there you cant see the ground unless you turn off the fog....

Spanky here...

Yeah I have done an air start in a mission from WAY UP there.

So I don't think its a hard coded thing.
