Have you altered any settings in Proflight2000 after installing,or have you left it at default settings?

I have changed this in ProFlight:

Pilot's name changed to Lau
Accent: British pilot number 6
Cruise altitude: (tried different settings - currently 21000 ft)
Callsign: None
Changed specifications to default DeHavilland DHC-8 Dash 8 aircraft (climb/descend rate 1500 fpm)

Okay,i created your flightplan on my other machine that houses FS etc,can you try and alter the flightplan to a lower altitude and adjust your waypoints accordingly on the flightplan adjustments screen and also put the aircraft back to Boeing 737-400 in PF2K.
Running out of options here....try this

What is the assigned speed in the aircraft specs in pro flight? I had the same problem and the I discovered that I had a very low speed. By mistake I entered .078 Mach instead of .78 Mach.

Personally i never alter any settings in Proflight2000,apart from checking box "Aircraft requires long runway and altering length",i tend to leave everything else "as is" i know most of things in PF2K are disabled...

I, Respectfully, disagree. Aircraft specs do matter in when PFE decide on TOD. If for example you the Rate of climb to 1200 and set your altitude to 33000 in a short trip like 250nm and compile it. In PFE altitude adjustment section, you will see that PFE lowers your cruise altitude. And the same goes for FAF and I am talking from experience with changing these settings. When I first bought PFE, I had trouble reaching my last assigned altitude before being vectored to final until I changed my rate of decent and FAF to 11nm.

Cheers

With all due respects, i think we'll agree to disagree,as i said this was my personal choice and is not intended to influence others!

I wasn't talking about you not changing the setting, of course, it is your personal choice and I respect it. I was talking about them being disabled.

Okay I tried the suggestions out now. I tried getting the settings back to default in ProFligth2000 and altering the speeds and altitude.

I'm afraid still no change...

What speed did you set it?
