I'm talking about that tendency in the RW. It becomes a subconscious response. It's most apparent when training new pilots onto type. It's not a flight control law issue.

I'm sorry. I flew the 773 for at least 1 1/2 years, and it does not tend to balloon above GS. YES, in the RW.

When hand flying this does require slight forward pressure to stay on the GP.

Also, the airplane hand flown does not require any fwd pressure to stay on the GS.

During the flare the FBW will input a slight nose down command. 

I explained very clearly when FBW  will input a nose down command.

 

It appears like we are talking about some other airplane. Even if it's a F variant, the systems are almost identical and it should fly practically the same.

I fly (RW) the 744 PAX and F version, also the 748I and the F, very subtle flight characteristics. The 748s are also FBW, similar to the 777, but the only difference is the speed trim feature. They are not full FBW similar to the Airbus.

The sounds have been a big disappointment for many on the Triple. Since they admitted they used some recycled sounds from P3D. Boris has said he knows someone who is doing a sound pack so hopefully it will make it better.

The overhead switches for the taxi and runway turnoff lights sound very weak when compared to the heavy duty beasts that I have in the 737-600, and they also look a bit pathetic when compared to the 737's chunky switches! A bit like that Christmas cracker parking brake lever

One other thing that I have noticed is the length of time it takes to get the green light to activate the thrust reversers. I have frequently made a mess of this because I try to activate them too early!
