Flight sim 95 - What speed?

I am confused and need the help from the Good Guys out there.
Having just obtained Flight Sim 95 from the F. K. D. He has a new one, (Flight Sim 2000) that he got from the DVD Lady, as he has more coffee pot's, now that he is required to train others.
I was loading the speed for B773 according to Bafoonpilot.Listening to "Drop The Pilot" on my Walkman (Ipods are not for us on our wages). When I overheard ,that when reduced to 170 ,during a busy night shift(because it is a B773 and we read PPRUNE) the reply was "We are a B773 and we will do 180??????????
The controllers were all working their a of, to keep the base leg for 30 right from reaching the Omani Coast. Requiring a/c to slow down so the Director could turn them base leg +/- 12nm from touch down.Setting up the guys in the tower with just enough gap to land one ,depart one, then land one ect,ect.
The guys in 'The room with a view,' were all working hard, all night putting there a on the line with "tight ones", and the regular spacing was reduced from 20nm via Desdi and Bubin to 10nm to avoid sight seeing (aka flying around your own a ) This was all done for You, our valued customer. :
To then have a comment like this is really up!
So.... if you where the driver of "Keep Discovering 16" : Get laid !!!!! Or have the nerve ,that connect your a hole, to your brain, cut off so you don't have such a s outlook on everything!!!!
Thanks to the Good Guys out there, that fly our speeds and headings(without bitching). We know you also work hard to help us make a seqeunce work!
Please also feel free to addopt A Controller ,whenever you meet our kind at the "Village"........you'll be surprised that with a few beers and a nice word or two (but mostly the beers ) you might just end up getting, DCT NO SPEED next time you come up on our screen!!
Now back to my Flight Sim 95, What speed should I put in 170 160 or 180?
