what i do is add 1degree flaps. All though your not supposed to. also make sure your power settings are set.

Some a/c have to fly at a nose up angle. Law of physics. Depends on the model/flight dynamics programmed in.

It Happens to me many times u r not the only one i usually experience it on 747s and its totaly normal as exx said its law of physics. I f u don't like to have ur plane in that position try putting down the flaps but then it wud be a bit unreal. :D

Happy Sim Flying

OK... because its a 777 and i fly at MACH .85. Also, with a 747 its the same thing. except i fly the 747 at MACH.86. The 747 is by POSKY and Meljet, same with 777. Besides, doesn't flaps slow you down? i would have damaged flaps at such a speed, and won't be able to land because the flaps are busted

Posky's fly with a high angle for sure. Melvin's do as well. They have to.

Try emailing the programmer of the Flight Dynamics...he/she is the only one who can...if they want to that is. They try to program them as close as possible to the real thing so what you are asking is the opposite of what most people want. Give them a shout anyways...worse you'll get is a 'no'.

The green blob shows who is online and who is not.
