Thanks Dominic, in fact I utilized default set up, I don't know how to eliminate the random failures ??? and I'm not sure if it's activated...
--- Quote ---EDIT - There are some very useful documents on THIS PAGE which could help

A little question about the docs, the web said for FSX, but I've FS9 is the same to use them ??? I mean the check list, etc.
Thanks a lot ;)

OK, so here's some performance figures for the X-Plane "-300" as per Alex's instructions.
Climb - 90% N1, 7.5deg pitch up (800fpm) = 90kts IAS (to 10,00, thence reduce to 600fpm to maintain 90kts - that's close to VX)
Cruise - 14,500ft @ 1025mb - @90% N1 = 120IAS || @100% N1 = 145kts (bang on CAS for the -300 at that alt)
Descent - -700fpm @ 70% N1 = 100IAS (almost perfect -1,000ft per 3 miles)
@E-J - if you could perform something similar (I just climbed out of KCNY to 14,500, got the 90% and 100% speeds, then turned 180deg and flew back - 30nm out and back) and tell us how the Aerosoft performs, we'll have 2 sets of data to aim at for the PAD (and my assertions are based on the PAD reference kneeboard).

The PAD model kneeboard has both a checklist and reference (I printed them to use with the X-Plane model...) As for failures, I'm pretty sure they are in Realism (@Dom?).

Thanks a lot Murray :)
EHM-0654 Murray:
My FSX is in a truely mental state right now (I couldn't control the right engine at all, kept throttling back to idle), so I can't get representative figures, BUT... with one engine at 100% I was still climbing at over 100kts @ 800fpm in the PAD -300!
