L1011 Config Mods, Tutorial, Throttles

1. Are the ones in the tutorial still advised? Any other ones that are advised?
2. The tutorial is good (although not the easiest approach for a beginner) but any others out there recommended?
3. Finally, there seems to be no way to hold speed in cruise, other than by close observation and occasional throttle adjustments. I am assuming this is correct.

Autoland works like a charm. But I always think "WTH Lockheed?" when I use the autopilot  Grin

ATS hold speed but in real life ATS was used only during approach, cruise power was adjusted manually

Thanks. I don't mind babysitting the speed, but good to know there's that option.

I use the Autothrottle to hold the speed during cruise. I usually set it to around 270kts-300kts depending on altitude (whatever keeps it close to M0.84).
