no, a tail wind would not do that much, i must have been looking at an incorrect conversion chart but to get 447knots in a 737 you would be pushing it a bit anyway assuming it uses realistic flight data and controls.

I would like to know, for AE4, are crashes planned as a feature? As they would be a great reason for airlines to ditch their ancient turboprops.

 

 

Turboprops = crashes? 

i think it was the ancient part that meant the crashes given most turboprops will glide safely down rather than crash.

are you seriously trying to fly at 516 knots?

Took off from orly bound for heathrow in aerosoft a320.

Ascent rate was too high so it locked me in TOGA power, and refused to shut off. I was going to go overspeed and it wouldn't let me turn off auto throttle. I decided to shut off the engines and then turn them back on and reactivate auto throttle.
However my hydraulics went along with my engines and I was stuck in the turn I was making out of orly and I eventually began to descend. I tried to restart my engines and I got all but one button, an APU bleed air switch, working, so my engines wouldn't turn on.

I realized the error at 500 ft and my #2 started spooling out. The hydraulics errors vanished and I pulled up yet I got no response for some reason and I wasn't feeling the power from the engine despite it being running in full throttle.

I smashed into a neighborhood 15 minutes from the airport. I like to plot the coordinates of my flight into google maps and I made a map with it.

 depending on how realistic a flight sim you are using it may have the 10 second delay for the engines to actually produce a noticeable power change to required output after siting on low output levels, this will be why you got no response, as your engines are not actually producing the power needed to lift the planes nose.

i ca help test and give ideas, but given my passt record at programing you probably dont want me to actualy write any of the code.
