Brief test flight last night after downloading 1.0 and very much improved over 0.9.   One thing I noticed and maybe it was me but seems super slippery as far as acceleration.   Before I knew it was 300 knots and when coming in for landing, full spoilers, full flaps, gear down and throttles idle still seemed hard to slow down.  Was decending at 800fps through most of approach.

Though I think it is a slick aircraft, once I get the flaps and gear down, it start to create a lot of drag. Add the spoilers to that, and I find it slows rapidly as long as your VS isn't too high 1000+ fpm.

Since I started using the spoiler to keep it from getting to fast when descending (STAR and Approach), my ILS landings have been much better.

Another trick I use to help prevent it getting too fast is to use the F1 key, sometimes holding it for a few seconds to help bleed off speed.
