Hello, disregard my previous post. Everything works fine with the weather and winds aloft. Speed shifts were there because there was stormy weather over France these last hours.

Good day, and excuse for my poor english, After full reinstallation of all my PMDG products yesterday, as well as Active Sky 2012 (I also use REX), I installed SP1C. Since then I am facing the following issues: a) engine failures (I had already met this problem before SP1C): this problem sometimes occurs and when it does it is when I am still on the ground so it has no consequences. It has something to do with my joystick calibration and is easily solved by unplugging and plugging again the stick. turbulences and shifts in speed resulting in overspeed warnings. (this never occured before SP1 and in fact it makes the cruise flight more realistic!) but I would like to know if this is normal c) seems to me that the plane is more difficult now to slow down on approach, whether in FMC or MCP modes Let me add that I configured FSX as it is advised by PMDG. More especially, the "disable turbulence" checkbox is checked within FSX. Also I have used for long NGX along with Active Sky and REX and I didn't experience such issues.

Did'nt find the option though. Only found the option concerning the 290kts descent profile. Will check closer when in descent phase as for now I've always too busy during this phase. What I am looking for is not the performance speed during the early phase of the descent, neither individual constraints over approach waypoints, but the option that would allow me to bypass the general restriction of 250kts below 100 and, for example replace it with a general constraint of 250 below 120. Thank you anyway for your replies, I will have to check further indepth the manual.

Hello fellowsimmers,Newbie to the MD11 since I come from Boeing world. Until now I have not been able to find where to enter general constraints for planning descents in the FMC. What I mean is that the default constraint is I think 250 at or below FL100. Let's take for example Spain where most of the time the charts indicate a general constraint of 250 under FL120. How to programm the MD11 FMC to adhere with this constraint ?
