What this FDE Update fixes:
===========================
There are many updates, but the main features is lowered
ZFWs for all planes, and retuned engine maps. Thrust is the same,
however, the new maps combined with lower ZFW will help with climbing to
a higher flight level faster.

The original FDEs were based on Boeing Maximum Zero Fuel Weight. These
update included for version 2002.5.1 have ZFWs below the Boeing maximum, based
on actual carrier options and weights. The improvement will be most noticable
for those who operation the 767 versions with the PW4060 engines.

767-400 is now more "porky" with performance similar to the -300ER, despite
the more powerful engines.


What this FDE does NOT fix:
===========================
- For those who fly with the PIC panel, this FDE does not fix the
joystick noise which causes fluttering when using the PIC panel at
speeds higher than 1X or 2X. (Best advice: stay at 1X speed or use
a different panel for 8X or 16X speed)

- PIC flaps displays (Best advice: ignore it, or fly with adifferent panel)

- PIC N1 carrot indicators (Best advice: ignore it, or fly with adifferent panel)

- Problems with damaged or collapsed gears from non-flattened Add-on
scenery (Best advice: verify your scenery.cfg have flatten coordinates, use the
extra gear coordinates and activates all 10 wheels on the 767 for wheel/tire
damage redunancy, or contact your scenery designer)

- Pilot error (Best advice: Read the 767 manual.)
