8. Will the performances of the poor G.50 be upgraded to be closer to the real historical values? The G.50 maximum speed today is ~350 kmh at sea level against 407 kmh found in books and online references. The G.50 ceiling in game is some 5000 m, against 10500 m found in various sources.

I cannot get the G50 past 3000 m. I am fine all the way up until I get up there then it starts to lose power. What's the configuration needed to climb past 3?

You hve to work your climb with modesty

To give you a tip : I am unable to escort BR20 as I can't even fly at their speed at such height !

Nice tips Tomcat.
And yes , tested this, and indeed it's hard to follow the BR 20...

Well, I've reached the bomber formations on the ATAG server and I think they are well above 3000 m, can't remember exactly though since I haven't been online for quite some time now. It's possible to get above 3000 though, I guess the following is important in the G.50 to reach higher altitude:

1. High prop pitch, not full but almost full, even when you are flying low and level.
2. Same with the throttle, almost full.
3. Mixture (I think), give less mixture as you reach higher altitudes. You can see on the RPM meter, if you start to loose RPM's you need to lower the mixture.
4. Radiators open just above half-full, oil rads open just below half-full (I'm not even sure the oil rads are doing anything at all, could probably close them all together)
5. Fuel, I rarely have full tank in the G.50. Keep it light.
6. Patience, once his bird reaches a certain altitude it turns into a barely flying brick, the devs are working on the FM's so hopefully this will be corrected already in the upcoming patch.

I hope this helps a little at least, sorry for the delayed answer.
