Problems with VNAV calculated T/D

Hi Everyone,First let me say how much I enjoy the 737NG and can

Hi KristofSounds strange... Can you provide us with a flight plan route and some performance data for your flight and I'll try to reproduce it on my machine.What weather are you using? Is it vanilla FS or a wx add-on?Maybe someone else has a clue as to what's wrong and can chime in?Cheers,

Hi Mats,I use FS9 weather, no strong head winds. This has occured to me on every flight since SU2 was installed. I flew from CYYC to KBOS and the T/D was about 25nm East of Ottawa about 275nm from KBOS. Sometimes the T/D is reached and the aircraft stays level for 30nm.Thanks, Kristof

Here are some pic of the flight deck during a CYWG-KBOS flight . I captured the various FMC states during the flight. I hope I'm giving you the information you guys need, if not let me know. Also, I find the Flap approach speeds a little high.Thanks again, Kristof

Kristof,This certainly looks fishy. Those Vref speeds are way too high. Have you checked you are using Lbs and not kgs all the way? In FS International settings, the load manager as well as in the PMDG Styles menu?Also could you rpovide us with the flight route in text or as a file if you have it saved as well as your amount of fuel loaded.Cheers,

Hmm.. Interesting. Check you are using KGs right through your systems. VRefs are so high as to be ridiculous and current weight of 117Kg is impossible.Other things that modify your ToD point are DES Forecast Winds, Destination QNH, and the profile of the descent you set. By default the ECON DES in the NG is way slow.. most operators set a DES Speed of /300 but even this would not account for your problem.Let us know if you have any further luck pls.Brad

:)Thanks Mats,Randy and Brad :)!!!!KG was selected in the PMDG menu. Everything seems to be working fine now. I should of caught a that one, I'll look into any problem more carefully in the future before asking the experts.THANKS AGAIN:)!!!!!!Kristof
