I noticed the 767 is extremely nose heavy...when you go to change fuel and payload in FS9 it showed to be top heavy and no matter what it couldn't be adjusted...what's up?

There was some discussion on this a while ago. I can't remember who had the answer on this one, but I've noticed that myself. If you're using FS9, you'll see that quite often on most of the models. I believe what was discussed earlier was the fact that most of the models were designed for use in FS2002 and that's where the difference comes in. Another thing to look at is how your fuel is loaded. Keeping the center tank as empty as possible will assist with this issue. Hopefully we can get a better answer on this one from one of the config pros we have here at DVA!

Just for the info. it I emptied them and emptied the weight of the plane and it was still nose heavy...and I could change it to add weight to the back it just wouldn't let me. So I loaded the wings(center was empty short flight for the 767)..

Just because FS9 says it's nose heavy doesn't mean it flys that way. I've been using the 767 from the installer with no problem since it came out.
