Hi, what flaps confuration do you use when landing a 737 in FS? What I have experienced so far is that the standard configuration given by the official airplane manuals (nose pitch +2, speed 130KT, flaps 30) will not give a 700 fpm but about 500 fpm. I am talking about an almost fuel empty airplane. Personally I prefer flaps 25 which works fine for the above.

a tip...don't use the default airfiles for the 737, they are a joke. Period.
I use the PMDG 737, and that airplane flies like a dream, and the performance matches up to its real counterpart, too.
Edit: But you're dead right on the config, that should keep you at around 700fpm descent.

Nexus, as a matter of fact I was almost sure you would be the first person to answer in a 737 question...
However I may seem a total idiot but what is PMDG? A different 737 type or a 737 model developed by a team (PMDG?)
Edit:
Ok, in the meanwhie I had a check in the internet and I found it is a software group creating airplanes for simming.
