I might have found the max altitude...

I really don't know if the answer to the question has been answered,so I figured I'd give a stab at it. I was recently playing on mobile with an XML modded aircraft, and I reached the altitude of 214,748,364 ft. The speed of the aircraft changed showing there was no lag.

    @KidKromosone Yeah C++ is the programming language as said before,it's basically the way the computer reads/interprets the writing in the script

    @KidKromosone what is c++
    A programming language.

    The amount of memory allocated for primitive data types is always the same (on the same platform, at least) and predefined. For altitude it probably uses an int type of variable which uses 4 bytes of memory. And since 1 byte is 8 bits it uses 32 bits, and so the max value is 2^31-1 (it's 2^31 instead of 2^32 because the variable is signed so that you can go to lower than 0 altitudes).

    The altitude (and speed) counter are 32-bit, so they only go up to 2^31

    Whoa, that makes literally no sense to me. Ik nothing about coding or how computers work, what is c++@LowDetail

    @KidKromosone
    ...
    .....
    They didn't set it,C++,the type of code SimplePlanes uses doesn't go higher than that number

    Weird that they would do that.@LowDetail

    Really? Sp has 214,748,364 set as the maximum altitude and speed then? What about weight?@LowDetail

    Yes,that number is the max for everything in SimplePlanes,it can also be written as 1E+27 I think

    So did I actually find the maximum altitude?! No way!@WEAPONSMITH
