Extreme pitch up tendency when reducing throttle in the SF50 vision jet. Very undesirable flight characteristic

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Undesirable and unrealistic pitch up flight characteristic from throttle changes. This causes normal landings to be exceeding difficult to be precise.

Not sure if this is realistic but I doubt it is. When landing the vision jet in 2024, when you pull the throttle to idle, there’s a huge pitch up tendency that forces me to hold forward pressure to prevent the plane from going into a climb. Now I haven’t flown a vision jet, but this seems like it would be an extremely undesirable flight characteristic and the opposite landing technique of any modern personal aircraft. You should not have to hold forward pressure on the stick the prevent the plane from reversing its descent into a climb on landing. I assume this tendency is from having the engine mounted with a slight upward pitch in relation to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, but I doubt the aircraft designers would have been ok with such a dramatic handling characteristic

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

100% of the time. Flight model problem.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Set the aircraft up on approach at Vref ~85 knots.

  2. Reduce throttle crossing over threshold at vref which is standard landing technique for the airplane.

  3. See that the aircraft reverses trend from a descent into a climb with no stick input, forcing user to push forward on the stick to maintain a descent.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

What peripherals are you using, if relevant:

[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?
No.

[PC Only] What GPU (Graphics Card) do you use?
3080Ti.

OK disregard. I don’t know what changed, but now it flies normally and doesn’t have that massive pitch up anymore after restarting the sim. I don’t know what got bugged but its fine now.
