• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I don't have the freeware B-47 you are using, but from Alphasim B-47 .cfg as an example:

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed= 155.700
full_flaps_stall_speed= 135.500
cruise_speed= 452.000
max_indicated_speed=456
max_mach=0.875


Exceeding either of these values (in your .cfg) will result in overspeed.
Your speed at any given moment in the sim can change with throttle movement, weather changes and especially wind shifts; that's the usual culprit.
thanks John,
here's mine;

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=160.000000
full_flaps_stall_speed=128.000000
cruise_speed=478.698930
max_indicated_speed=690.476563
max_mach=0.950000

the max_indicated_speed is a lot higher, as is Mach.
I never came near 690
and the best Mach I could get was 0.94
and that was only once.
mostly I ran at 0.92

I'm not complaining, just trying to understand.
