Hiya Guys,
 
Are any of you flying this program? I'm hoping someone can tell me how I can achieve an airspeed greater than 140kts in the Lockheed Electra! I usually have automixture turned off as I like to do it myself, but even with it turned on I cant get any faster speed out of the aircraft.  Even with 50% fuel and one soul on board.  Also, different altitudes dont seem to help, eg, flying at 13000ft gives the same speed as at 10000ft.  At these speeds it'll take a lifetime to get around the world!  Yes, I know I can use other aircraft but I'm trying to keep within the spirit of the flights.  I just thought the aircraft was capable of flying over 200kts.
 
Regards,
 
Rory
