  Hi i like very mucho to fly in the fs9 but i dont know why two times, while flying from paris to mexico something very wierd happened.

   I was traveling at 35,000 fts and at a cruise speed of 337IAS (that was the speed that the velocimeter was telling me, is the indicated speed, and in the gps where it says GS it was telling me 514 something normal my ETE marked in the right was telling me that i was going to arrive mexico in 9 hours, normal. But suddenly the speed in the gps began to fall. It went from 514 to 399 and imagine, the ETE became like 15 hours but the speed in the velocimeter stayed the same.

  I am very desesperated because I arrive a lot more late. I dont know what to know i also dont know what is the difference between ETA and ETE and allways when i arrive mexico i am almost out of fuel is that normal? I knew that the 747 goes farest. Please i really need your help, just for the record i took out all airplanes form the folder of aircraft because the game was very slow i dont know if that has something to do with this

thank you very much for your help.

My guess would be you lost your tail wind. The GPS, I believe, indicates ground speed.

Wow, where to start...

Let's begin with your usage of the word "velocimeter"-I'm sorry, I have to be an ass because I cringe everytime you say it.

lmao Beefhole.

  Thank you very much Biffhole you cleared to me a lot of doubts but i still dont know why suddenly the ground speed in my gps went from 514 to 399 and in my opinion i think the speed you told me is very slow because when i flew to france at 330 i made exactly what my sister did when she flew in real. But i am going to do whay you told me thank you very much

and sorry about my english iam from M

I'm from philly, my english is about as good as yours. Glad I could help.

Hey thank you very much for your help beefhole i think you are a very experienced virtual pilot, how had you learn so much? well i set the cruise speed how you told me .85 mach and I found i was going faster than when i was flying at 347knots jejejeje but i want to ask you if its normal that my ground speed went to 584 because know i am arriving to the destinaion one hour earlier

thank you very much for your help and continue learning
