Hello all, I am having a weird problem with all and only my FFX planes. They all will fly in level flight with the nose up 6-10 degrees. None of my other planes do this so it cant be me and my trimming ability Roll Eyes

Is any one else having these problems? And if so, is there some part of the program I dont know about, or is there a fix?

Snake,

Yes, this problem exists with certain models, and adjusting the elevator trim doesn't seem to help........

I've been told that one way to address the problem is to go into the Aircraft.cfg file, find the "Flight Tuning" section and adjust the Cruise Lift Scalar to a lower value. However, adjusting the Cruise Lift Scalar will not solve the attitude problems of all aircraft.

I've also noticed that some models have a tendency to cruise with a nose-up attitude when there is a full load of fuel on board - probably because a majority of the fuel weight is distributed toward the rear of the aircraft. During a long-haul flight, as more fuel is consumed, the aircraft's attitude will correct itself. You have to have patience, I guess.......... Sad
