DD  -  Thank you for the feedback!

B- isn't too bad, I suppose. I guess my main concern is does the auto pilot work properly and does it pick up the ILS localizer and glideslope, disconnecting the HDG Hold and The ALT Hold etc. I assume your comment on the FD(flight director?) in APP(approach) mode has to do with this.

The sink rate warning is a FSX problem with the default planes as well.

I am basically a seat of the pants FSX pilot and some of your response is somewhat unfamiliar to me --flap noise (too much, too little), tail skid (didn't know there was some sort of panel indicator, HSI and NAV radio movement problems) but overall it sounds like you are fairly satisfied and the plane is very flyable.

Btw, the EPR gauge thing doesn't really register with me with the exception I always used to sweat denied boarding (due weight restrictions) here in DEN during the hot weather season.

This is what I mean by seat of the pants:

Thanks again!
