How come about 2 minutes after taking off in one of the Boeings, I seem to be always in Overspeed, even when im above the clouds
😕
I try lowing speed and still its Overspeed
please help, thanks.
I suggest you go through some of the learning centre articles within FS9. Depending on the aircraft, you will need to reduce thrust to around 70% to stop overspeeding. If you are going too fast, then reduce your thrust to keep your speed below 250kts. You can also use AP 😉

lol ok thanks 😂
I'm with you. I'm getting overspeed on lots of planes even when I'm 100+ knots under the listed cruising speed.
what altitude are you at?
Many beginners dont realise that there are many differents types of speeds
Miles per hour, airspeed, and ground speed
I'm not going to explain them all hear, that could take a while but I'll show you to links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_speed
Basically, if they say an airplane cruises at 550knots, it doesnt mean indicated, it means ground speed, which will equal to about 330knots, standad weather conditions at FL350
Also miles per hour is not equal to knots by the way
To find out your ground speed look around the HSI area or open your gps, its in the bottom left corner, in the format GS: 510kts
GS being short for Ground Speed
And by the way, when on the ground, taxiing, you use ground speed to tell what speed your going, not airspeed. But when on the ground airspeed is usually the same as ground speed, unless there is a tail wind or headwind when taxiing
When up at FL300+, ground speed is rarely ever the same as airspeed, it usually is a lot more
