Thanks for the nice feedback! We will need to re-tune the aircraft when XP11 is "final" - if you feel REALLY enterprising you can do this: Disclaimer: All this at your own risk. Don´t come crying if you *** up your aircraft and run out of activations because you need to re-install your messed up aircraft file. FIRST: MAKE A COPY OF THE .acf file!! Run the aircraft in XP10 at a certain speed and altitude, i.e. 5000 feet and 250 kts. Output "drag" to your screen. Note the value. EDIT: At 250kts, 5000´ and 100.000lbs (45.450kg) this should be 6460lbs of drag. Open the aircraft in Plane Maker for XP11 (root folder) and browse to Standard/Fuselage/Section Play with the value for "body coef of drag" (you will need to increase it) until your results for 5000 feet and 250kts match up with XP10 (6460lbs of drag) The results for other speeds won´t be perfect (since the shape of the drag curve has also changed for XP11) - but will get you back into the ballpark.

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.

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
