By way of disclosure: there is a known bug in the YASim computation of drag from flaps, which results in far too little drag being applied at full flaps. But that's not your problem. :) You seem to be expecting the aircraft to slow instantly when you pull back on the throttles. It won't. It's a *big* jet, and it takes a *long* time to resond to speed changes. I can verify that it trims nicely for approach at 136 knots when fuel is at 20% (you have to do this manually; the default is 50%, which is much heavier). This behavior is guaranteed by the YASim solver, in fact. Andy -- Andrew J.
