Many thanks guys I really, REALLY love the CS727.  Although I've had it since release, I've only recently got right back into it. It is, without doubt, still one one the greatest airliner addons for FSX.  Well done Captain Sim!!  You were WAY ahead of the field on this one. I'm assuming you guys are referring to this mod: http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1296889437 I'll try it.  All I've been doing so far, is slowly, slowly decreasing the two drag entries in the aircraft.cfg file, but I know that's not the way to go. Another BIIIG mistake I've been making is the use of full flaps! The more I fly this baby, the greater my respect for Lou and all those other skilled guys (and brave!!).  I guess more mordern aircraft pilots must have it real easy in some respects? For me, by a big mile, the best airport to practice approaches (in any addon aircraft) is the payware addon version of Toncontin (MHTG).  It's just sooooo darn hard to get right. Anyone know if 727s actually operated from there? Once again... BIG thanks guys.  I appreciate the detailed info greatly.

dougal, I totally agree with you that the CS727 is the most awesome airliner for FSX!!!   Especially if you, like me, are in love with the real 727 and it's contemporaries.  I love the older, analog instruments.

I have not tried the mods for the -100 or -200 yet.  I did have issues getting the -200 to climb like it ought to, so I did make the static thrust change that Markoz posted.  That certainly did the trick for me.  

I'm not yet brave enough to try Toncontin yet, but my approaches and landings are starting to look really good, so I might try it soon.
