I am working on an aircraft for FS2002 and after many airfile edits. I have the performance where I want it. Except for a tendancy for the nose to drop when airborne. I can trim the problem out with elevator trim. But then I have to keep trimming it out to maintain level flight. What, if any Airfile entries might I edit to fix this?

Glitch,
You don't have to worry about changing the air file. Changing the wing_incidence value in the [airplane_geometry] section of the aircraft.cfg file will change the attitude of the plane. If the plane nose drops in level flight then decrease the value until the nose is where you want it to be.

Nose down - lower the value even to a minus figure if you need to.
Nose up - raise the value

Could be the centre of gravity too. If its to far forward it will cause the plane to dive.  Again this can be adjusted in the aircraft.cfg

Roger that! Thanks guys!
