Hi
I don't know if any of you have noticed but I've noticed some discrepancies with the weight of the PIC 737-300. The discrepancies are from the 737 manual and the 737-300 aircraft.cfg. Here are the aircraft weight from the aircraft.cfg file:
Operating Empty Weight: 72,540 lbs
Maximum Taxi Weight: 135,500 lbs
Maximum Take-Off Weight: 135,000 lbs
Maximum Landing Weight: 114,000 lbs
Maximum Zero Fuel Weight: 106,500 lbs
Maximum Fuel Capacity: 35,579 lbsHere are the aircraft weights from the manual:
Max Taxi: 131,000 lbs
Max take-off: 130,000 lbs
Max Landing: 114,000 lbs
Max ZFW: 105,000 lbs
The max landing weights agree but the others no not agree, and they're using the exact same terms. So, why are there discrepancies here and which ones do I refer to when entering the information into the PFPX program?

Hi
I purchased the FSUIPC3 and WildFS keys for FS2004. I purchased them around 2004. Can I use the same keys for the FSUIPC4 for FSX or is there a discount I can receive for purchasing the FSUIPC3 and WildFS?

E-Jet 195 Nose Attitude Too Hight When Landing
in Airplanes
Posted
I have the E-Jet 195 and when approaching the airport at the V-ref speed, the nose attitude is extremely too high. According to the landing chart, at a weight of about 109,000 lbs, the V-ref speed is 130 knots. I used the V-ref + 5 knots, so I approached the airport at 135 knots. But the nose attitude of the airplane is up about 5 degrees, which seems to me, is extremely high. Most jetliners have a normal nose up attitude of about 2 degrees, and during the flare, the nose is at about 5 or 6 degrees. But during the approach in the E-Jet 195, the nose up attitude is about 5 degrees or more. This seems to me to be too high and after a transition to a flare, the nose is up almost 8 or 9 degrees. I've noticed that one of the V-ref speeds is not correct, and makes me wonder if several are not correct, or the airplane is not designed correctly.
