Hi all, I've been using the PMDG 737 since day one, and I really think it's great, thanx.I also bought immediately the 800/900 expansion, but only started to use the 800 model this week.I've been using only the 700 so far, and I've been surprized from the differences between the 700 and the 800, expecially when it comes to slow down during the descent.I have not a great experience so I ask you if it's normal that on similar weight configuration and descent profile I can easily slow the speed on the 700 and viceversa almost gain speed on the 800.Thanx in advanceRoberto

The 737's are hard to control during descent and can slip away from you if you're not careful just like in real life. My suggestion would be to set the descent target speed to about 10 kts below your cruising speed.Nick B.Continental Airlines 737NG Pilothttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg--AMD Athlon XP 3200+ @ 2.2 Ghz (Equal to 2.8 ghz)400W Power supply3x 80 mm Case FansSoyo VIA KT600 Dragon PlusnVidia GeForce FX 5200 128 mb2 x 512 PC400100 GB Western DigitalMicrosoft Sidewinder Precision 2

The answer to your question is yes it's normal and developed that way. In fact one of the team who flys the 800 NG mentioned this very thing the day of release on the forum, not sure you can go back that far in searching but it's there.Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.
