downloaded the above the other day having problems...
When climbing, the plane loses speed fast and ends up stalling, even at as little as +100ft/min. What could be the problem???
I have noticed that when the plane is losing speed, the fuel flow to the engines is dropping, but the N1% stays the same...
Any advice??

THat is alarming, i have that plane and that does not happen, perhaps you shoud delete the aircraft and re-download from a different site

Have you checked to see if your aircraft is below MTOW (Maximum TakeOff Weight).I have found that my DC-10 was over-weight even with a modest fuel load.This made her climb preformance very weak.Step climbing and careful speed managment are key to flying the DC-10.I found that FL300-FL340 is the best cruise level for the DC-10.
In FS go to your aircraft/Fuel and payload/ and alter aircrafts station weights to lighten the load.
Best of luck and i hope you get this sorted out as the DC-10 is a dream to fly

Yes Thankyou!!
It was like 29000kg Over MTOW!!! I never usually change the payload so I just assumed that it would be under MOTW like all the planes are - but yes thanks for that.
She is still a sluggish climber, but managed to bring her up to FL350 at about mach .86
