I've revisited the Victor and have been playing around with the cruise lift scalar and htail_incidence to get her to fly with a level attitude, even at not unreasonable military speeds (say 300kt at less than 10000 feet..) .... apart from in this pic when I gave her 100% N1 and pointed her heavenward. (The VSI was off the clock at 4000 ft/min so good ness knows what she was actually climbing at.)
