Why Does My FSX PMDG777 Fly Back Heavy?

If you're experiencing issues with your PMDG Boeing 777 for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) where it consistently feels like the aircraft is flying 'back heavy', there are several potential causes to consider. One of the most common culprits behind this behavior is related to how FSX manages its resources, particularly memory and disk space.

When running multiple add-ons or textures simultaneously with a demanding aircraft like the PMDG 777, it's not uncommon for your system to become overwhelmed leading to performance issues such as slow loading times, freezing, or even crashes. These problems can sometimes manifest themselves in unexpected ways within the game itself - including unusual flight characteristics like heavy handedness on pitch control.

To troubleshoot these types of issues, try following these steps:

1. Exit FSX completely by closing it down from the taskbar.

2. Open up Disk Cleanup (or similar disk management tool depending upon your operating system) and run a full scan to remove any temporary files, cache data etcetera that may be taking up valuable space on your hard drive.

3. Once done restart your computer in Safe Mode without loading any additional programs or services at startup so we can rule out conflicts between software causing problems.

4. Upon logging back into FSX choose only ONE plane to fly with (preferably a light one if you have many installed) and make sure it's not the PMDG 777 since some users report issues when multiple versions of same aircraft are active simultaneously at once!

5 Finally, select 'Fly Now' from within the flight simulator without making any changes whatsoever - such as altering time settings etcetera. If everything still feels off after trying these steps then consider reinstalling either just SP1/2 or even entire FSX package altogether depending on severity of symptoms observed so far...

I hope this helps you resolve your issue!
