April 2, 201313 yr ok is this normal usally i fly the 737 and the 757 but i have a 747-400 at 300 for speed and at 15 thousand feet she dont sit level at all does tilts up some but when i put flaps down to 1 then she levels off so does this mean i have to fly with flaps down to position 1 while i am at the speed the whole rest of the flight or no? is there a setting off or something.
April 2, 201313 yr Have you checked your trim settings on the throttle? This should be set before TO or you can sometimes adjust it on your joystick/yoke
April 2, 201313 yr Author on my trip they do sit a little low so i guess in order to sit level in flight the trim has to be level ?
April 2, 201313 yr You need to always trim, change pitch >trim, change power> trim [color=#a9a9a9][size=1][size=4][img]http://forum.avsim.net/public/style_images/flags/rs.png[/img][/size] Lj. Prodanovic[/size][/color]
April 2, 201313 yr When you say it tilts up, I'm guessing you mean it can maintain altitude, but the nose is pitched up a little bit? Some degree of nose-up pitch is normal in level flight.

April 2, 201313 yr Author it does stay at level flight and yes the nose does pitch up about 10 degrees i tryied the trim and it will lower then it rides right back up again
April 2, 201313 yr Ten degrees sounds a bit excessive. What's your weight and balance like. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
April 3, 201313 yr It could be helpful if you said about which plane in which sim you're talking about in particular. The default FSX 744 for one has some very strage FDE that causes a similar behavior, that was fixed by some guy ba adding "virtual flaps" in order to keep a more realistic pitch in level flight.

April 4, 201313 yr Downloaded from where and for what model. Meljet? Project Opensky? Default? PMDG? iFly? AI Aardvark? Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
April 4, 201313 yr Which aircraft?? default, PMDG ?? For PMDG make sure you're using the load manager to properly set up your fuel, pax, cargo loads. Your CG might be out of the correct range depending how you have that configured. I wouldn't use the native Fsx loading tool for that particular aircraft.
