How heavy are you loaded? If you are overloaded, 36,000 feet may be too high. You may need to burn off some fuel, or load less.

good point but that's not it. It happens also with 10% fuel in each tank and after 6 hours of flight. It happens also at ANY altitude. I said FL36 as an example

Speed up to Mach 0.86, fly lower when heavy.
Lower altitude + same mach

Ok i'll play around a bit with the payload. I mostly focused on fuel because i assumed that the default number of pax and luggage is correct (as in a full at most). It's just very odd that through the entire trip lets say from NY to Paris on climb, cruise and descend is so seated (yes the spoilers are fully retracted during cruise), it just doesnt look normal (it did on FS2004) and this is why i suspect a program issue. But if you guys dont see the same then is probably me.

I get the same nose up attitude with the stock 747, even at mach .88 at 34000ft its about 5* up, makes no difference full or empty, is there a way of adjusting it in the aircraft.cfg?
