Anyone else who's flown the posky 752, doesnt it seem to you like the flaps create WAY too much drag, WAY too much lift and WAY too much speed loss?  A quick example-I'm on final at Seattle, I have flaps at 25, my firckin speed down to 115 in a desperate attempt to get the nose up, and I'm 2 degrees noes DOWN.  Unbeleievable.  On descent, flaps are unusable becasue after extending just one degree the A/T kills itself, going to full power just to maintain a speed, so I have to trick it by constantly taking maual control of the throttles and even then when it levels out a severe power increase is unavoidable.  Then, we're still at 1 flaps here, the plane is nosing down to maintian an altitude becasue they create too much lift. Arrrgh.  >:(  So, two things.  Has anyone else noticed this and would you recommend copying whatever part of the 777s file that pertains to flap lift+drag into the 757 file (if anyone knows where this is in the .cfg or .air files that'd be great.  I could find it myself but this would cut down the time).  I would post this on the posky forum but theyd just yell at me to dl the latest FDEs there.  :P
