If 160 mean 160 knots you're way too slow for flaps 15 (or any flaps when not taking off) you should approach at about 180-190, and not get as low as V1 until within the decision height.

Um, I'm not sure this is accurate.  In looking at documentation for the real plane, a reasonably loaded -100 (say 170-175K) at 15 degrees flap has a VREF of about 160.  Now, I could see flying with a gust factor to 170-5, but the concept of VREF is that you should be able to fly at that speed and I find it isn't terribly stable at that speed.  I'll try 180, but I don't think speed alone will fix things here.
