Hi,

I have played FS9 for some time. I was wondering if someone could be so kind as to tell me how I could change an aircraft's max speed? I realize it could make the aircraft unrealistic as far as speed goes but alas some flights I fly trying to make it as reasl as possible and others I just want to have fun. This would be one of the times I justed wanted to have fun.

I haven't been using the Sim as long as you, the only thing I can think of is to lighten the cargo and fuel load, that should make the craft faster.
Also I would take out all damage and stress damage checkmarks in settings.

Why not download the flight simulator editor files from Microsoft.com? I did a while ago and have used them to have all sorts of fun with my aircraft. If the file is read-only, do a save-as and then you can make any change you want. Very Happy

Oh yes, it is more than upping the max speed with the fsedit tool. To go faster you need more horse power, with more horse power you need a better prop, with more speed you need to adjust the airframe..... I added a 350 hp turbo charged engine to a Piper Arrow and did it go fast, too fast Shocked

and above redline it started to oscillate Fear

because the tail was too small. The aircraft modeling that FS9 uses if very good so you need to keep the parameters somewhat "real". Have fun.
