This is strange for a 757-200, isn't it?

Hmm, I have that model and never had that problem. Even with a heavy load I am able to maintain 4000 fpm or better past FL180...yes,
you read that right, 4000 fpm climbout.

What version of the FDEs do you have from POS? I know the downloadable planes and the like are ALL configured FS2002. If you go
into the POS forums, flight dynamics discussion, there is a sticky in there that tells you where you can download the current ones for
FS2004.

The easy way to see if you have FS2002 or 4 ones is to load up your aircraft, check the weight and balance section. If the COG is sitting
WAYYY forward of the nose, you have a 2002 model. If it's somewhere close to where it should be, you have the 2004 model.
