Hi Folks.
As a newcomer to this forum, apologies if this question has been asked before, or that I have missed something in the (excellent) manual.

I have just downloaded and installed Fraser's beautiful L-188 package

The aircraft flies well, apart from one really annoying thing, namely that the aircraft will inexplicably 'nose dive' without any prior warning.

There is no advance warning, no signs of an approaching stall, no change in engine note etc.

This happens at random, and airspeed, engine performance etc. is 'normal'

I am using FS2004 with all the service packs and Windows 7.

As I was intending to use this aircraft on IVAO's vintage prop tour, I would really like to use this aircraft, particularly with Fraser's panel.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Alastair

Hi
As a newcomer to this forum, apologies if this question has been asked before.
I have just installed Fraser's excellent panel package for the Electra and the problem that I am finding is that the aircraft will suddenly 'nose dive' without warning (stall presumably)
This happens at random, and the flying speed can be anything between 150 to 200+ knots, in straight and level flight.
Fuel state is normal, and there is no prior warning, change in engine note etc.
Simulator is FS2004, with all the service packs, and OS is Windows 7 64 bit.
This is the only aircraft which does this.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any idea what is causing this?

Thanks

Alastair

ps hope that I have not missed something 'obvious' in the manual. :)
