I have put the steep path speed of my B-17 on 140 Mph.
Is this OK? How is the basic setting?

Ja est ist. I usually put the Climb Ratio at 1000 feet per minute. Sure it takes 15 minutes to get upto normal bombing height, but it works well.

B17 should do fine at a climb speed of 140.

With lancaster I may go as low as 135.
