Very nice model but I find the flight dynamics odd. I'm using the JT8D-9 FDE which are the default ones.I briefly flew with 50%u0025 fuel load.
-it looks like it uses 737 flap positions and not 727
-flaps are extremely slow to extend or retract
-Vr speed with 5 degrees of flaps is supposed to be ~149 knots but it only gets off the ground past 160 knots
-stall speed with flaps up is 140 knots
-with 30 degrees of flaps and gear down stalls at 80 knots
-with 40 degrees of flaps the stall warning never comes on
-with 40 degrees of flaps the engines are not powerful enough for the aircraft to accelerate in level flight, there may be too much drag from the flaps

-seems to only fly with extreme nose up attitude
