Vistaliners Stalling

This is a very old thread but one word is missing from the explanations. True Air Speed.
All of the aircrafts' limitation speeds are in Knots Indicated Air Speed or Mach Number but the maximum speed or VMO/MMO is in true airspeed and varies with altitude due to air density.

Wow did I really write that over 3 years ago! I'll see what I can find you. And listen to the guys in the two posts above, they know what they are talking about

Thanx guys for the responses, sorry to drag up this dusty old topic

The reason for my query isnt as much about flying the 733 as it is to try and find a benchmark for the various 733 models. For example I've compared a Wilco-733 climb managed by VNAV to an emulation of that in the Vistaliner with auto and manual throttle control and keeping an eye on air speed, climb rates, N1 values for temps/altitudes etc. The Vistaliner and Wilco models are very different performance wise, especially on the climb. It's not much of a surprise really right?, different developers, different levels of research and detail, so many variables.

Alister has flicked me the air file now so am gonna see if it brings them any closer, and if not I may try and edit the air file myself.
Let me know if you think its just flogging a dead horse though so I dont waste too much time on it
