Andy,
That sure did the trick. To make a long story short, I screwed up the update
the first time (had a two year old doing some major distracting :)). The

Hmmm...nothing because it won't reduce. I'm showing full 19k+ lbs
for three tanks no matter what I do with the fraction figure in
the config and can't dump during flight it either.
Yes! That's it!
I lied:
There's another 747.xml file attached.
Sigh... someday I'll get one of these right on the first try.

Yes, I'm seeing a big difference. Still maybe not quite up to spec (but don't
want to say anything without doing more tests). We've gained at least 10k
feet in the last week though :-) Very nice!
Best,
Jim

First, the air pressures returned from the environment system don't
agree with the standard atmosphere that YASim uses to do its

altitude increase. At 35000 feet, they're too low by 20%, which is

With Dave's change to prefrences.xml I can get up to FL320 before running into

In any case, flying very carefully I can barely get it up to FL320
with the change in preferences.xml. Going further just doesn't
seem possible. I tried serveral AoAs and just couldn't get it to
go up much without falling back.

More evidence. The following quote is from an HTMLized google cache
of a file named 747operations.pdf. The file itself is gone from the
web, unfortunately. It appears to be a POH compiled for an MSFS
virtual airline:
After climbing as described above to 10,000 feet, reduce climb to
500fpm.

The bad pilot technique theory is looking pretty good. If YASim can
get to 1400fpm at 300 knots, then I move that it be declared
officially innocent on all counts. :)
