B737 is pitching to the ground

when i start in fs2004 with a aircraft for example the B737-800/900

and when i disconnect the autopilot the aircraft is pitching down

and is difficult to recover and is crashing

how do i fix this

As soon as you disconnect the autopilot and the pitch down begins, "pause" the flight and look closely to your panel! It may give you a clue as to what is going on and what caused it?:rolleyes:

A screenshot for others may help also!

Ben,

Under normal circumstances, most commercial jets flying under auto pilot control are in fact steered by their trim tabs, which normally means that as soon as their auto pilots are switched off, their trim tabs retain their (auto pilot) positions and should therefore not cause any unexpected pitching or yawing.

Have you tried taking off manually, retracting your flaps at the correct speeds, trimming your aircraft into a stable flight, switching on your auto pilot, giving it time to stabilize and then switching your auto pilot off again to see what then happens ?

Regards

Hans

Adjust trim before setting a/p. And after...
