Nose too high???

[f-16]

I was flight testing the POSKY 747-400 on my comp. I noticed that when I fly full throttle the nose of the aircraft is VERY high. I try to trim this out but it does nothing. If the nose is high (gross weight) at full power, what will the able be at cruise setting?? (up to 10 Deg.??) When I look at spot view from the side, the aircraft has a VERY prominent nose up attitude (5-9 degrees). This burns fuel faster because of the drag it causes. The more fuel I burn the higher the angle of attack. Altitude does not change this either. It does this at 40K and at 25K. The angle also makes the passengers uncomfortable in the back.

Is there a variable in the CFG or AIR that I can adjust the angle of attack when flying? I really need to bring the nose down.

This subject has been discussed in earlier threads. It is common with the larger acft. to fly with a distinct nose up attitude due to gross weight.

The first thing you might want to try is adjusting your passenger and fuel loads before you fly.

Searching the threads will give you more info on this subject.

I noticed this too, but eventually mine levels out once the airspeed has picked up, this can usually take a few minutes but it does go down the the normal flight position eventually!, just tell your passengers that youre still climbin

you've probably got hardly any weight, therfore the aircraft's lighter and will climb easier. try setting your fuel and payload to a reasonable value (alt -> aicraft -> fuel and payload)

im sure if you put on full pitch down the aircraft might not nose up so suddenly and with such a great angle, though that'd certainly make landings pretty complicated.
