Over at Raytheonaircraft.com...http://raytheonaircraft.com/beechcraft/kin...c_Perf_2003.pdf...the B350 performance specs say that for a high-speed cruise, the B350 will get 312 knots at FL240 burning 773 pph.Well, earlier tonight I flew a flight (FS2002) from KAJR to KPNS, at FL240. At 74% TQ, 86% NG, I was burning 760 pph, at 166 KIAS, but my TAS was only 237 knots. That fuel burn is pretty close, but the airspeed is way off.Anyone with more knowledge than me want to shine some light on that? Is it really possible to get 312 knots? At higher altitudes, with a tailwind, I can sometimes get a GS of 290 or so, but that's still not 312.

I checked that site. So, are you saying that removing some "cargo" or "passengers" will let me cruise 80 knots faster? I know less weight means more speed, but 80 knots?

No, I had to tweak the engines. Weight only affects inertia..how fast accelerate or slow down.

>No, I had to tweak the engines. Weight only affects>inertia..how fast accelerate or slow down. No, decreased weight also means decreased induced drag as a result of the need for less lift and the resultant lower AoA. But not 80 knots worth...Probably not realistic to expect any MSFS stock FDE to perform anywhere close to r/w numbers.CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Washington, DC

(haha, that TOO. But as you say, not 80kts worth. Gear drag is only 5-8).

Lizardo,I noticed that the post person was using FS2K2.In FSCOF 9 do the king air engines need to be tweaked? If so is there any risk a screwing up the defualt plane as I am not the best to be messing around in the files. I can do the basics like adding a texture in the cfg file ect....Thanks.Mark.

It's the same plane. The tweaked CFG will probably work in 2k2, but if not just take out the extra things that CoF adds..such as brakes.When in doubt, save your original CFG file (I usually make a new folder, label it "orig CFG"..and put the original one there, in the aircraft file.)

Thanks,I may have confussed the two sims. I have FSCOF 9. With that said for some reason I am now confussed. I want to apply the twek you mentioned into fscof 9 King Air 350 so that it is more real like.The twek you mentioned above I will need to go and find. Are there any other add ons to help make the King Air 350 fly more like the real thing?Also, since we have established that FSCOF 9, is the version I am using, are there any tips for intalling the fix's.I appreciate the help.Thank you.Mark.

Hey, why not post your concerns on the Aeroworx forum? That Henning chap is very helpful. He will probably send you a modified airfile. There is at least one thread over there concerning airfiles. This post is meant to be helpful only.Cheers,

There are other tweaks by other people, all different. Mine, you simply replace the default CFG file with "this" one. (it changes more than just the engines).

I was hoping to fix it the that Lizrado was explianing.By the way what is Aeroworx. Who is Henning Chap. I will c`heck it out but would like to know a little about it before I start messing with airfiles. I had a real bad deal in fs2k2, when a airfile resulted in a complete re-install. I must add the file came from another site. That said, I realize that this site is in a different leauge and for the most part all advise can be trusted.Thus I I am going to sound stupid, but I am not familure with Aeroworx. Also, what exactly sould I ask for, or just explian it like it was durring this thread.I appreciate the info.Mark.

I hope I am not wearing out my welcome. Whatever the reason I am confussed with which file to D/L as to make try and make the Defualt Jing Air 350 fly mote like the real deal.Agian I have read more than I should have, thus "is it the forest or the trees", LOL.Please if someone could help me to shore, I feel like a raft off the Carolinia cost with no paddle.Any how, if I am extra cuatious its due to a bad mistake I made in FS2k2, thus I hope you guys (ladies also) understand the hesitation, and the double checks here.Thanks agian for the help.I hope all have a safe and productive week.Mark.

"350.zip"

#1. Thanks for your attention to the topic and the help.#2. I am sorry to ask.#3. The bad, ( which means I am looking like an _____, LOL) Due to the fact I do not know where to input "350.zip" I am sorry to ask, however I want to do things the correct way the first time. Agian, I realize this is frustrating to you and or the others; please understand I am trying to not repeat a bad mistake I made in FS2K2. I really do appreciate you time and help. I am aware time is "bucks" and or personal time to your family and or your self. Take care and I want to say thanks.Mark.
