Hi Gang,Couple of quick observations :1. After T.O and engaging AP in HDG sel, the a/c tends to overshoot the HDG by almost 10-15 degress. Eg: I take off on RWY 07, climb to 1000', AP engaged, turn HDG knob left to 250, the a/c rolls out of the bank at 240 or even 235 degrees, and then comes back. The rate of bank is also very slow. But maybe this is correct, not too sure. I have the bank angle selector at 30 deg.2. When extending the flaps they "race" to 5 and then slow down the speed as you extend further flaps. I am given to understand that the flap extension speed works the other way ie., say from Up to 1 or 1 to 5, it takes much longer to extend than say 25 to 30 or 30 to 40.3. Still getting the Overspeed/Underspeed warning on ground after retracting flaps.4. Landing lights are too bright in FS9. Completely wash out the ground in front of you. With Taxi light on, I think even the rwy turnoff lts come on. Any way to individually operate them? Generally only land at night with the taxi light on as LDG lights are way too bright. Will this be addressed in the next update Robert?5. I generally use 22K derated thrust and not the default 24K. In the N1 Limit page when I select the 22k rating, the thrust limit changes in LSK 1R but the heading still shows 24K, but when I go to the Take-off page, it shows corectly as 22K.6. Will descent forecast be modelled in the future update guys? We can enter a transition level as lot of us do not fly in the US or UK where transition Alt and lvl are the same. Right now I change the transition altitude in PERF page during cruise or descent to reflect Transition Lvl at destination, mainly done to set QNH from STD.7. Are ECON CLB and DES speeds little high at 315 Knots? I do change it all the time at preflight, is there a way to make a "custom" speed as default? Like 290-295 in CLB and say 300 knots in CRZ and say again 290-300 Knots in DES? I am invariably in ACT SPD mode rather than ACT ECON Mode in CLB and CRZ.8. AC and DC selectors, in AC I am unable to select INV position as this is the position the selector is mostly kept at after Engine Startup.9. On T.O, after pressing TOGA I get N1 HDG TOGA on the FMA. I know HDG indication is correct, but should it not be THR HOLD or is N1 also again an airline option?10. Is there a way to disengae the Auto throttles without selecting the Auto-Throttle switch off? Like the real a/c has on the thrust levers?Sorry for this lengthy post chaps, just wanted to clear up some doubts I had :)Looking forward to the other liveries and really looking forward to the 800-900 with EFIS-Map config..:) :)Lol,Dinshaw.

Dennis,Thanks a ton for the reply. One more question, are flap extend and retract times different in the air and on thye ground?lol,Dinshaw.

>Thanks a ton for the reply. One more question, are flap extend>and retract times different in the air and on thye ground?It sure is, depending on a lot of things and configuration, but since the EDP (engine driven pump) have a higher flow rate than the EMDP (elec motor driven pump) then you will have a faster movement when using the engines, but unless you move other hydraulic operated things, then you wont see that huge a different because of speed restricters in the flap/slat system.That reminds me that i wanna get my school book and check if it auto extend slat in the cases it has to, i dont tihnk it is modeled, but hey would be cool if it is ;-)>lol,No lol there hehe, ask away, there is only one way to learn, that is by asking.DennisLicensed on the B737NG and the Airbus 319-321 as a technician (B1 and B2)
