PMDG 747 Realeased!!
EHM-1281 Cyriel:
it does fly with the nose slightly pointed up yes. As far as I know this is normal behaviour also in the real thing. Depending on your airspeed the nose will point up more or less to create more or less lift to keep the aicraft in the air at the speed you are flying. If it is pointing up at a large angle check your speed! A common mistake is that you are flying too high with the current weight of the aircraft. You can find the max. altitude in the FMC. When the plane is fully loaded with passengers and fuel the max. alt is around FL310. When you burn off more fuel you will be able to go higher.
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
how high should the nose be (realistically) at FL350 just after takeoff at 250 knots (KIAS)?
mine currently looks like this and it looks a little extreme to me :s
it doesnt look to bad at this angle but from the side it looks so steep that passengers would probably have trouble walking from the back to the front! :o has an incline of about 15 degrees or more
EHM-1281 Cyriel:
what is the max altitude the FMC tells you is possible? FL410 with 72% fuel seems much too high to me. try this at fl310 for instance and see how it looks then.
EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
it looks about the same. it does not have a FMC (as far as i know...)
EHM-1281 Cyriel:
The FMC (flight management computer) is a huge part of the airplane. Without it it would be hard to fly. The radio's e.g. can only be set in the FMC.
IF you need to find anything in the FMC I suggest you start by reading the manual. It comes included with a rather extensive one.
