Title: Too high nose of aircrafts
Post by: EHM-0471 Peter on May 21, 2004, 12:30:03 am

Hi guys!

Need some help and I am sure this can be corrected. Well, most of the aircrafts in EHM fleet have to high position of nose during the flight at cruise level. That means the angle beetwen the horizon and the longitudinal axis of the plane is too big. The picture is absolutely unrealistic. Can anyone instruct me how to correct thi and get more normal angle.
It is probably the smal correction in each aircraft's cfg.file.

Hmm... which aircraft are you talking about? And how much degrees is their nose up? If there's an angle of attack between 0 and 5 degrees there shouldn't be much of a problem methinks

I had something like this a couple of weeks back with a Boeing 767-something.
It climbed slow, and when nearing the cruise altitude (only FL250), I had the nose of the plane pitched up arround the 10 degrees (and man did I loose some speed). The problem was too much weight. So maybe that's the problem, try to lessen the fuel load, it may help.

I have it too.. mostly with the 747-400

first I lessened the fuel load to, but then with a correct setting of x-feed, the tanks would depleet at the same time, distribuate the weight at the same time so it would be even

I may be wrong but isnt cross feed on by default/set by the computer?

I guess it depends on the panel you use. Anyway I had the same problem in the past. Its known that the 767 has a quite bad dynamic model, but it is under improvement. If you are flying at not cruise speed try to apply some flaps and that will push the nose down a little.

I have a different panel


Robert:
Wouldn't that break the aircrafts aerodynamic profile, creating much more drag, and thereby causing a greater fuel usage ..??

I know thia may seem quite obvious but is the trim set correctly? Also, sometimes, if you have saved a previous flight wit the autopilot on, it will turn the autopilot on for the next flight, maybe that is the problem? Good luck!

yeah sorry about that.. I finished the new 767 with all new flight dynamics but no one put it online yet :{

You are right Rico, it is not the good solution (applying flaps) at cruise level and cruise speed. But it can be useful near the ground when manouvering. You can see much more from the outside too.

Cant wait to see the new flight dynamics Gizmo!

As in sightseeing ;)  .. i'd rather use a Cessna then, instead of the companys expensive trans-con planes  ...;D
