Highest altitude attained in G2?
I flew the PT-40 at the Fun Fly field and using a Viewport in the "follow aircraft" mode I was able to climb to a bit over 4000'. I think it would have gone higher. It tends to do sudden rollovers when it's above the clouds in the 'white stuff' but the ground is always visible in the Main View screen. Then I pulled it into a spin and wow, can get dizzy watching the ground, lol! 
The highest I could get the Wright Flyer was 400' max.

I have a modified P-51 that goes vertical like a rocket. I just put it into follow mode, go up with a corkscrew climb, & forget the ground view. I usually turn over at around 5500 ft. and dive, watching the speed and RPM in the data window. havn't done it for a while, but its well over 165 mph in the dive.

Update!
With my modified P-51, I just went to 30,000 ft. averaged about 100mph in the climb. When I turned over, there was no field in sight. I dove down in a wide spiral, finally picking up the field at around 9000 ft. made it to 170 mph in the dive.

Neat! I took the ducted fan F-86 up to 20K and same thing, no ground view for a long time. It hit a terminal velocity of around 235 going down. I tried the turbine F-86 and it won't climb, weird I know but about 4000' was all it could do before the flip overs became annoying.
As for top speed I flew the "super sized" F-86 that is downloaded from the Real Flight website. That thing cooks and hits 350 in level flight. But I noticed when I hit 400 my airspeed resets back to zero and starts counting up again. Everytime it hits 400 it resets.

i Used a Pylon racer P-51 and went straight up till it ran out of gas. i think i hit about 12,000 climbing at 200mph!! the glide down took a long time.
It flips over because you are flying right over the "camra". its just like if you were standing on the ground and flew right over your head, you would have to turn around really quick as it started going over the other way. So if it keeps flipping over then you know you are going straight up.
