Thanks! I agree. VS is the better method. Now I know they tell us not to focus on power settings but does anyone have some "suggested" power settings? Remember my PC is in the box not a real plane where density alt or weight really have that much affect.

clean at level flight: 60-55% n2?
level at 180 flaps 9:
1500fpm descent at 180 flaps 9
1500fpm descent slowing to 140 flaps 22 gear down
1500fpm descent at 140 flaps 45 gear down
level at target (135 or so) flaps 45 gear down: 75% n2?

I have been trying my best to catch up but may only have one more shot at this. I am doing my best here to chair fly these approaches so any suggestions or help would be great!

BTW, the PM is clear now
