PMDG 737 series - speed control issue

[Guest rds_mcleod]

737 gurus, please:I have not changed loads, nor have I fiddled 'much' with the PERF settings other than load. I've varied the GTW load based on distance, but I'm missing something.My problem is that using VNAV and LNAV (as I usually do), both the 800 & 900 have trouble maintaing a cruise speed over .60/200K give or take a lie. I have to resort to manual speed control to get any airspeed, eg. about 280K at 350. And yes, I use the fuel calculator to determine fuel load.Any ideas what I may have input incorrectly?

Ron,-Do you have the Autothrottle armed?-Check the CRZ page in the FMC and see what speed entered is. Should be ~M.79

Peter's got fixes in beta test now, but you can get major MAJOR deviations on climb and descent. Go back to 3.50 for now.

Thanks guys... ;-)A/T is set, but I'll have to check the cruise page, and FSUIPC to see if v351 is the headache.
