    Default Strange Flying Characteristics

    Whenever I reduce my speed to below 200 kts. during an approach the pitch attitude becomes way too high. I have no forward view whatsoever. This goes for both the FS2002 aircraft as well as add on planes.

    When I disconnect the autopilot, it still doesn't change.

    Is there any way to fix this problem?

    Thanks!

    Sounds like your not using your flaps properly, and as you slow down, you needto keep increasing your angle of attack in order to sustain lift. Make sure in your realism setting you have "Indicated Air Speed" selected and then follow the aircraft's recommended flap/speed settings & see if this helps.

    Try moving your eyepoint up and down (Number pad + and -)

    True if it's a visual perception problem, but from the sound of the original post, his AI is showing too much pitch up when decreasing airspeed, indicative of loss of lift and compensating by increasing angle of attack.

    Yes put ya flaps down and that will give you a nose down pitch.

    All else being equal, any aircraft must raise its nose as it slows down, in order to maintain level flight. Perhaps viewpoint adjustments would help. However, lowering flaps can also help, as the aircraft tends to be in a lower pitch attitude as flaps are deployed; again, all else remaining equal.

    If you use AirEd, you can also change the angle of incidence and other parameters, but I'd advise considerable caution doing this, since other handling characteristics are likely to be affected.

    the view point adjustment is the answer! because in real aircraft you can move your "eye-view-point" up/down freely, so in FS you should adjust the view manually..
