Last night I climbed the aermacchi 339 to 75,000 feet reaching over Mach 2. Continued my climb all the way to 107,000 feet before losing all control authority. I tried researching this, but I can't find any information supporting this kind of performance.
Aermacchi 339 at over Mach 2 above 75,000 feet. Max ceiling 108,000 feet.

DId you see an amber "caution" text and an "overheat" message?

I didn't notice any warning signs. Gauges seemed normal and I had max throttle.

Well usually max throttle over-revs the engine. It has no FADEC, I'm not sure if the real one has one. Right now we only simulate a basic fuel controller which allows you to get more than design limit thrust, especially if you get further away from the normal envelope.
