Well since the last post was unanswered I'm going to ask some more questions.

1. How does one increase the crusing speed of an aircraft? I am using FSNav4.4
and made my flight plan using it the A/C is a 747-400 and has a cruise speed of
460kts I can only get 241kts at FL410.

2. Why do the aircraft on takeoff roll begin to rotate early at around 50kts?
I have to hold the nose down until at least 115 to 125 kts.

3. I have Chuck Domes program for overspeed adjusting, and I am wondering about
the Mach number. What does the Mach number represent and how does it work in
regards to flying? The above mentioned 747-400 has a mach value of 0.9 which
means nothing to me.

Thanks Robin
