For whatever reason, even after MANY years flying many of the planes in FSX I never spent much time in the LJ45. Recently, I've spent more time trying to get acclimated and it seems like that thing is just way over-powered. I've even spent time watching YouTube vids of real-world LJ45 flights trying to determine what their typical takeoff and climb thrust setting are thinking I had the throttles pushed up way too high but their climb thrust is usually around 85-87%. Even above 10,000 feet it seems like you need to fly with a pitch that gets well over 3,500 FPM climb or more to keep the speed below max, which to me seems unrealistic. Climbs are typically done with constant thrust and speed controlled by pitch, so setting the autothrottle and having the throttles cut WAY back to 60% during climbs even at 15-20,000 feet and then go up and down based on pitch just makes it seem like something's off and bugs me :( because it's not nearly realistic.
I've downloaded some items like Aydin Kaplin's corrected flight dynamics, which do address this like roll stability etc. but leave the thrust settings e.g thrust_scalar alone.
Wondering if anyone out there feels the same way and knows of any more realistic config, or even if there's a real LJ pilot in the crowd that could set me straight. It is entirely possible I am completely off base.
