FSX HELP? (747 help please)?
Captain. asked:
Hey.
I need some help in fsx.
1. Every time I fly in a 747, once I engage the auto-pilot, and set a heading, speed, altitude etc. I get a 10 degrees pitch up, the auto pilot adjusts the elevator pitch.
I extend the flaps to get the nose down but that requires to much thrust leading to a lack of fuel for the rest of the flight.
What do I do?

Oh yea and I havent installed fsx acceleration yet because every time I do it says I need the english version of fsx.
But I do have the english version.
What do I do?
Thanks in adavnce.

dude post this question in the gaming section next time…

Several possibles here
my suggestion – check your machine has the capacity and ram to run as this program is notoriously heavy usage on all areas. To solve this problem save any flight files you already have and reload the whole thing.
The fix other than this is so involved it will take more time and not always work.

when you activate the autopilot particularly the altitude hold, the VSI setting (climb rate) defaults to 1800FPM. The aircraft will automatically climb to the set altitude at that rate. If you want your rate of climb to be lower. I have used 1000-1500FPM at 250kts above 10,000ft. Your flaps should be all the way up for the climb! Good luck and use the autopilot tutorial/transitioning to jets tutorial in FSX.

I think it can happen if your airspeed is too low, try to speed up it might help.

You do not extend flaps to lower the nose.
If the autopilot commands 10 degrees of nose-up pitch, it must have decided that this is necessary to achieve the climb rate required, which in turn depends on the autopilot mode. If you set a vertical speed (explicitly or implicitly) that is greater than the aircraft can reasonably achieve, the autopilot will command increasing nose-up pitch until a stall occurs. Continuously diminishing airspeed is a sign that your commanded climb rate is too ambitious (or your commanded thrust is too low). If autothrottle is engaged, then diminishing airspeed is always an indication of excessive commanded climb rate.
Extending flaps is not the solution. Reduce the climb rate (or advance the throttles) until the airspeed stabilizes. The best achievable climb rate diminishes with increasing altitude and aircraft weight, and is also affected by other factors.
