Yes, I've wondered about that too, I haven't had any shredding problems, but I do always seem to "overspeed" them by 2-5 knots every flight even though I know it's way under minimums. Where does FSP get it's flight data from? I know you're not supposed to lower the gear above 300 either, but mine seem to break at about 265 in a 737, it's rather annoying, especially when flying an ASHA Cargo flight, that the gear won't go up, or won't come down, and I bought brand new airplanes!
I would assume it gets it from either the aircraft.cfg file or the .air file.
This follows a recent upgrade from FS2002 to FS9
I loaded down the demo of FS Passengers - seems a great add on at first, loads new sounds and things to do on the flight - I think tho it has a big incompatibility problem with my FS2002 planes which I have tried to use ( which is clearly known by the FS Passenger programmers )
On running the demo it came up with an error messages concerning the default plane ( 737-400 Paint4 ), saying that it was not compatible, and I should turn off some elements of it, re-start FSPassengers, which I did - although the error message still appeared I could fly the demo, it looked brilliant ( apart from blowing off my flaps! )
On my return later, FS9 failed to re-load at all, despite a number of attempts, stating a conflict with the 737-400 Paint 4 again. I decided to delete the plane - this initially worked, except when I tried my A319 ( FS9 version ), it was now loaded with the flight deck panel of a 1920s FS9 plane ( amusing or what!! )
These conflicts, I think, lies with putting all my FS2002 planes in the FS9 airplane folder
Has anyone had this problem with FSPassengers, I don't particularly want to re-install FS9 again ( which would of course get round the FS2002 planes conflict )

Following my last post about FSPassengers, someone in their forum told me I had to delete FS9 as it was the FS2002 planes that were the problem, all FSPassengers did was to highlight their incompability with FS9
Since then, I have re-installed FS9, and now bought a copy of FSPassengers - excellent program, unless you are a total purist - and there is a huge forum to help out
The moral is I would NOT copy any add-on planes from FS2002 into FS9

Update to the last post........
Xmas brought me a new PC box - basic Compaq, 1 GB of on board memory, 256 mg graphics card - the difference in graphics and aircraft handling is awesome - I run at 30 frames per sec, there is no appreciable loss of frame rate on landing, and the increase in detail around the airports has to be seen - mind you with the increased air traffic yet to be added that may change
However, anyone thinking of upgrading do so if you can - worth every penny
