Descent with FMC.
I can do most of the FMC operations on the PMDG 737-600 NG aircraft except the descent. Any help please?

Are you using VNAV?
Please explain me how to use it on descent, and how to control the altitude descent. FMC goes too slow on descent and ATC keeps complaining, and also I don't reach runway on time.

When the plane descends, what is the N1 setting that the A/T maintains, and what is the airspeed indicator doing?
If N1 is at idle, and the airspeed is not decreasing, then you are at your maximum descend rate; the plane can in that case not descend faster because it will exceed the set speed limit.
Unless, of course, you increase drag.
Okay so I have to modify the N1 limits then? Can you briefly tell me what they should be for a proper descent?
lol 😂 excuse me but you had me laughing there.
what you should do is enter your descend at a lower speed, not tweak you engines 😀
just try it out first, start a desced, and watch what n1% is being maitained.
if i am not mistaken, vnav descends should be at idle thrust.
