Can anyone please tell me how to change the default overspeed setting to a higher speed?

Not really sure, but I dont think you can, maybe someone knows more about it than me though  ???

I figure you should be able to edit the aircraft.config file. Just make sure you back it up first in case you make a mistake. Also make a note of which values you change so you can change tham back if needed.

Happy experimenting

The aircraft cfg file is a good place to start, but you more than likely will have to edit the .air file as well. You can use AIRED to do this.

Changing the 'overspeed' mark is easy - it's in the .cfg file.

Open the file; scroll down to "[Reference Speeds]' - it should be near the bottom.

Here - this one's from the Beech Baron:
[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed    = 84.0                  //Knots True (KTAS)
full_flaps_stall_speed  = 75.0                  //Knots True (KTAS)
cruise_speed            = 180.0                 //Knots True (KTAS)
max_indicated_speed     = 223                   //Red line (KIAS) <---- This is the one you want to change. Do it like this:

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed    = 84.0                  //Knots True (KTAS)
full_flaps_stall_speed  = 75.0                  //Knots True (KTAS)
cruise_speed            = 180.0                 //Knots True (KTAS)
max_indicated_speed     = 260                   //Red line (KIAS)223 <----  I changed the speed at which FS9 registers the overspeed from 223 to 260. I then placed the original number (223) after the hashmarks as a reference to easily change it back.

Keep in mind the actual redline on the ASI doesn't change; so you'll have to keep a mental note of what the new overspeed limit is.

Hope that helps!

Or you could just slow down.  

This isnt because you keep going overspeed in cruise, is it?
