The response varies _much_ depending on whom you ask  :-)
Personally I'm quite confident with FlightGear's flight dynamics, but
there's always room for improvement and if you know someone who's
flying the real one (maybe you're evn doing yourself), take a
stopwatch, pen and paper and record climb rates at certain weather
conditions and power settings and the like.

Note that there are many, many different variants of the real one,
therefore claims like "it climbs too fast" might be rather moot the
smaller the deviation gets, because it depends much on the weight
(which might depend a lot on the installed equipment) and the condition
of the aircraft.

Just an idea - cheers,

        Martin.
