737 too nose high!

Postby A310fan » Fri Sep 11, 2009 11:09 am

Hi all.
I downloaded a 737 a few days ago but noticed that during cruise, even with mach .82 the plane seems to fly at a particularly nose high angle. What do I need to change in the cfg file to rectify this?
Thanks!

You may want to mention which 737 it is you downloaded and from where, so others can help troubleshoot.

That being said, without knowing you and your experience level, most airliners due fly at cruise with 3-5% nose up angle.  That is apparently the most efficient attitude.

have you tried to trim the PITCH down?  are your flaps/slats / spoilers fully retracted?

swept wing aircraft will fly level with a nose-up pitch. It can be even higher than 5
