When flying @ cruising altitude, for example 350 ft (35,000) viewing outside why is the A/C still having a pitch up attitude when it should be level flight? My AP is set to 315 IAS (TAS 465 indicated on GPS) a little bit more then that it goes into overspeed. Is there a way of fixing that in the A/C CFG file? If not I will have to live with it, I would rather try fixing it as it would look more realistic. I appreciate your responses. Best regards flt simmers.

Hi, Sim pilot. There IS a section in the CFG file that could do the trick.Check if the weights are not too much.Even more: Check if the virtual plane is "realistic", like "wing surface", "wing span", etc etc. . .,compared to the real thing. Many corrections can be made in the CFG.Blue skies.

Going to need a little more information than just your FL mate. What aircraft are you using and what were your aircraft weights for this particular flight ? Generally, a nose up attitude is noticed, even on real flights, due to the weight of the aircraft. This nose up trim is usually 2 to 3 degrees as far I know, so if you're seeing that much or probably a little more (since we aren't flying in real and don't exactly use proper weights) its very normal but if you have an excessive nose high attitude then there is definitely something fishy with your aircraft cfg file.

99.999% sure there is no problem with the plane.commercial jets fly at cruise with some positive pitch.you can feel this as a passenger when walking the cabin in flight ... uphill to the nose, downhill towards the tail.another example are the flight attendants' carts (food/drinks/duty-free) have wheel locks so to keep the carts from rolling to the tail of the plane during the cabin service. you will also notice that the cabin crew must really push a cart when moving towards the nose; and it is just a matter of releasing the wheel brake and keeping the thing from zipping down the isle when moving back towards the tail.you can also look at cockpit photos on airliners.net that show positive pitch of an aircraft when at cruise. here is one example of a 747 at cruise -www.airliners.net/open.file/0230868/L/a way to change the pitch on a FS model is adjusting the lift_scalar line in the aircraft.cfg file Flaps.0 section. this isn't a perfect change as the aircraft will react differently in different stages of flight -- including pitch and speed gain/loss on approach, climb, takeoff, and landing.--

315 IAS (TAS 465 indicated on GPS)

above FL250, or so, you fly by a mach speed, not IAS.normal cruise speeds of the non-regional jets -737 classics - M0.74737 NGs - M0.78 - .80DC9/MD80 - M0.78 - .80A32x - M0.78 - .80757 - M0.78 - .80A330/340 - M0.81- .84747/767/777 - M0.81- .84ejet - M0.78 - .80--

Thanks for the input. I will check these out closely. I guess I never really noticed an uphill feel. I use to fly as a passenger lot of times thru the years, but it has been while. It seems as though you are flying level. I appreciate the mach speeds that was also given to me as I try my best to emulate the real thing when I can. Flight simmers are the best. There is a lot of knowledge out there for virtual flying. I always appreciate the responses. Best regards.

Anytime mate :)Cheers,Karan
