If you were flying the A10 model with all the ordanance then that is fairly normal.

Reset the trim once you're at cruise speed. I've got a Hornet that does kind of the same thing.

dose anyone else have any ideas? i would really like to hear what people think. and what do u all think of this idea: the wings are at the wrong angle or they dont produce the amount of lift they should

Remember- in FS it doesn't matter how the model looks -it's what's gone into the *.air and aircraft.cfg files that matters.

ya i know when i said that i was talking about in the .air and .cfg files. with aircraft.cfg i know there is something about wing twist or something and i think that might be wrong or the wings are somehow set not to be level with the fusalage. any new ideas

Hi USAFAux

Not wing twist it's the angle of incidence and on the A-10 it is a lot may be 8deg??

It also has an enormous down angle on the tailplane but this seems to make no effect on FS.

Do you have an airfile editor?

USAFAux,

I experienced this before in several AC's. It is usually because I inadvartantly engaged the autospoiler or misread the indicator. In my current SST Concorde, the indicator light is "yellow" for off, and "white" for on. Kinda conterintuative.
When spoiler is deployed, the thrust seems sluggish and the AC requires a hight angle of attack to maintain level flight. Check to see if it is engaged or not.

Honk, if you like my flying!!!

hey everyone sry about it takeing so long to get back to u ppl. anyway in responce to how high i was: i was doing some low level strafing practice at the time around Ft. Drum. and i am around 99% sure i didnt have the spoiler down but i will fly it again to make sure. O, and is that 8deg. on the model for fs? i think that covers it all.
