now you're showing off

I've found those values restoring N1 idling at 22%: low idle = 0.88 and high idle = 1.16. I have simply doubled the previous figures. You can try after making a backup of the original .acf file. Cheers.

Jan did it with the actual cosinus. I did it with the rule of thumb. thats why the 2kts difference. But either way is correct

Boeing recommends to add half of the headwind component + the full gust factor. The minimum additional to the Vref is 5, the maximum is 20 kts. So the additional for you would have been cos(75deg) * 31/2 + 9 = 4 + 9 = 13. Your approach speed would be Vref (140) + speed additional (13) = 153. You would fly this value (153) until passing the threshhold, then bleed of the steady wind component but keep the full gust factor. Target touchdown is 149. Jan

This seems to be a result of a new jet-engine tuning for pb12 of XP11. The engines idle too low, and can not accelerate from this low RPM. You can adjust that in planemaker: Open "Plane Maker.exe" in the main X-Plane folder. Click File - then Open then load the IXEG 737-300 Click "Standard" then "Engine Specs" find the "lo idle fuel adjustment" and increase the value until the idle RPM is about 22%N1. (I don´t have this installed on my laptop, but the current value is probably 0.6 and you may want to increase it to 1.1 or so...) Hope this helps, Jan

Damn, thanks a bunch. So I learn a lot right there

So much anger, yet so much learning....Hahahahahaha. Tim

As I see your ILS course is 255. so headwind is about 12kts (180-255=75, 0.9-.75=0.15, 0,15+0.2=0.35, 0.35x31=12). 1/2x12+9=15 . so the value you have to put in should be 15.
