Archived from groups: alt>games>microsoft>flight-sim (more info?)

I've always flown with freeware Meljet and Posky jets, believing that they
were simplier than payware aircrafts to fly.

That's not true. Have tried the CLS A340-600 and must say that "The Beast"
behaves in a more predictable way than any other freeware aircrafts I've
ever tried, making flying with it much more easier.

For example: taking off with a Posky or Meljet 777 with full throttle, will
easily bring you to exceed the 250 knots limit, and maintaining or
retracting flaps does not significantly influence speed. I always have to
put engines at minimum just after take off in order to not exceed the 250
limit, and this is very unrealistic.
With the CLS A340-600, taking off with full throttle and maintaining flaps
at take off position, the aircrafts will gain speed very slowly,
accelerating as soon as flaps are retracted.

More to come as long as I get more confident with The Beast.

Very easy to change this in the air file, just give gear and flaps more
drag or in the cfg file make less power by reducing the HP or the
jet engine thrust scale
