Throttle/speed settings

Into which folder/file(s) of FS do I need to go to change (increase) the throttle range/max motor speed setting for a particular aircaft?

I believe you can do it by going to the Aircraft folder in the general FS9 folder and select an aircraft, and go to the config file in that particular aircraft folder. Could be wrong though

I will agree with Jon without know anyhting specific about it.In the crafts cfg.file (B737 in the example)i find the followings.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed = 142.0 //Knots True (KTAS)
full_flaps_stall_speed = 113.0 //Knots True (KTAS)
cruise_speed = 477.0 //Knots True (KTAS)
max_mach = 0.82
max_indicated_speed = 340 //Red line (KIAS)

I dont know if they are what you are looking for(maybe im off your point),

Try this?
