I'm actually a B737 fan but I also love the old planes from the 80s. I'm surprised when I give manual thrust on the runway that N1 doesn't go above about 85%. Since I don't know this with any other airline, I asked in our forum (virtual VA) whether this was normal, which I was told no. Others were able to recreate the problem and so we think it is a bug. It was really tight a few times when taking off the otherwise really great plane. Greetings Matthias
