Last night I managed to complete my first full flight, which included a go around. But I have a few questions if someone would be kind to answer.

Firstly I was adding my departure SID out of EGKK Runway 26L. On my flight I set in the STAR/SID configuration area I set LAM1X, that was fine, but 26L had multiple SIDs and STARs. Can the configuration area hold more than one SID or STAR and I can choose the correct one in an options drop down or something or do I have to alter this configuration each time depending on my flight plan routing?

Also on arrival to EGBB ATC requested me to reduce to 140 and then to 100 knts, these speeds were not achievable in the aircraft I was flying (Dash8) given the aircraft Wright and weather conditions, one again is this adjustable or turn off able?

A1. The current set up allows for only one designated SID/STAR for a specific runway. So if you are doing a different fpl from the same runway then you would have to change the SID/STAR designation. The idea of a listbox as it were has already been mooted so something may come of it in the future.

A2. You need to look at the tweaks page under options 2. under the heading "Approach" If it is unchecked then the final approach speed for your a/c is 140. If it is zero then it uses the flaps up stall speed from the aircraft.cfg file. These numbers are overriden by creating an aircraft preset from the select a flightplan page. Check the box on the tweaks page and put a zero in the field then create you own aircraft profile on the select a flightplan page.
