Flight Test for simulated aircraft Flight - Simulator: Microsoft FS 2000

Aircraft: Boeing 737 BBJ2 (designed and painted by Christian Schweikl

This aircraft is very well designed, constructed and made as a freeware aircraft and to have fun with it, not to make a simulated copy of the real Boeing 737 BBJ2. On the other hand, the designer gave his best to come close to reality. 

The Boeing BBJ2 is based on a Boeing 737-800. This aircraft is in factory livery, and in luxury private interior. (Unfortunately you cannot se it <g>
The Model was build up from scratch with Abacus FSDS by Chris Schweikl.
For this see copyright.

THIS AIRCRAFT IST FOR FS2000 ONLY.
With moving parts: all possible moving parts of an aircraft, moving front wheel, landings lights, transparent cockpit and cockpit crew

[LOADING INSTRUCTIONS:]
Please do not use the aircraft as a start-up. Start your FS2000 with on of the standard FS2000 aircraft and then this BBJ2, otherwise your FS2000 will fail earlier or later. 
There is a known bug in it. In case you switch between some third party aircraft t the BBJ2 and then you toggle to out-sight-view, sometimes FS2000 hangs up. 
The reason is not know to me. If there is someone who knows, please drop me a line.

[TEST CONDITIONS]

PC: P450, 128MB RAM, 3D Graphics Card, FS2000 settings: full realism (except gyro drift), Scenery complexity set to normal, Joystick MicroSoft Sidewinder FeedForceBack all sensitive items set to a medium value.
Weather: fair, wind e.g. not taken into consideration only on take off and landing.
All values vary a little bit depending on the panel you are using and the gauges which are installed and which system you are using. As we are all know FS2000 needs fast PCs, the faster the better.

-----------------------

REM.: aircraft tends to overspeed after take off. Reset throttle after take off.

Climbing performance : 
After Take off 3000 to 4000 ft, reduce throttle not to exceed 250 KIAS below 10.000 ft.
The higher, the more drops the climbing rate, certainly.

[REMARK]

This test is only done for the FS2000 Boeing 737 - 800 BBJ2  aircraft designed and painted by Chris Schweikl. It has nothing to do with any real aircraft or any other model aircraft or simulated aircraft. 
If someone has further performance information, please let me know.
