I was bored so I decided to play around with the defult 737-400.

Suped up the engines to put out 75000 pounds of thrust.  After I landed back at Grissom ARB I taxied clear to the opposite end of the runway, kicked it in full reverse to see how fast it would go.

About 2/3 the way down the runway it literaly tookoff backwards!!!

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH CCCCCCRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP

Nice flying!!  Now if only you could keep it steady, you'd have one hell of an aerobatics plane!

Um...

No comment.

ill see what i can do about keeping it in the air.  but last time it fliped so fast that i was barely able to take the screenies!!!

oh yeah and talk about a short field takeoff.  once i throtled up to full it tookoff in what seemed like a second.

Would the passengers get frequent-flier miles deducted?  ;D

heres an idea at what i ment about short field takeoff

barely had time to prepare before i was screaming into the air

still over the runway and at 17700 feet.

bet a normal 737 cant do this at 30000 feet

on final to grissom

begining reverse thrust demenstration

here we go again i just hope i can keep it flying this time

well its offical the 737 is not ment to fly backwards oh well

Lol, great pics I did that in a 777 once

Just wondered how you suped up the engines to produce more power? (In simple language pls Im not a computer whizz).

lmao!

First of all, only do this on an aircraft with a turbine (jet) engine.  Doing it to a prop plane is much harder.

Open the aircraft.cfg file (the one that's titled AIRCRAFT in the folder of the plane you want to "supe up") with notepad.  Scroll down until you see

[TurbineEngineData]

Under that should be a few entries, one of which should be

static_thrust=XXXXXX

with XXXXXX being a number.  Increase that number to get a higher thrust power, decrease it to make the engine weaker.

And before you go messing with it, put "//" before the original static_thrust entry, like so:

//static_thrust=XXXXXXX

Then make another static_thrust entry directly below the first one.  Now when you are done being a sky maniac, just delete the other entry and delete the two slashes, and everythings back to normal.

i just went into the aircraft editor that automaticaly installs with the game.  i just saved it as a different aircraft.

Geforce  i tryed that in the 777 first but i could only get it to 100,000 pound thrust which is already close to normal to get it to fly much faster.

Now if someone could design a effect so that flames shoot out of the back, kinda like the JATO that the blue angels do with thier C-130, Fat Albert.

Nice shots and may the sim be with you... That's the great thing about the sim!

LOL I do this in the C182 by making it have a 100,000hp motor It is a blast!

great pics
