cruise speed for WHAT AIRCRAFT? Respond and someone here will surely give you an answer.
Or open, using notepad, the aircraft.cfg on a similar original Fs plane and read down ... cruise speed is always listed.

Try using my AI flightplan calculator, It's in FS2004 utilities page 4 here, and on wy website:
www.freehomepages.com/gwsimulation
It will do it all for you, and can be used for both flightplans.txt, and aircraft.txt.

the easiest way to accomplish most things using computers is to copy and paste then edit the parts one wants to change; this maintains the original formatting; as we know, computer don't understand: " . . . just about."

One can -- in this example using MIke Stone's C130-- see the speed goes after the aircraft number:

AC#168,320,"Lockheed C-130 AI"

320 is the speed and the formatting must remain the same.
