Hi All,
A bit of background info;
A week ago I purchased an 80gb Solid State Drive in which to store Windows 7 + FSX + Addons.
My PC & Flight Sim X were all working fine previously, but having the new drive meant a fresh install of FSX & also re-downloading add-ons, World of AI aircraft and last but not least our Fleet aircraft.
I use FSX Booster and AI Smooth as my only 2 additional programs that are run in addition to FSX + ACARS.
Now here's where the problem is....
Jumped in the 767-400 for a flight from Heathrow to Boston, and after taking off and setting up the Autopilot, the aircraft went into a nose high attitude when passing 20,000 feet.
I was doing 310kts, and set fuel / payload for the flight using ACARS. There was not much of headwind / tailwind either. I leveled off only to find the plane in a 15 deg nose up attitude and the throttles were pinned at 95% n1.
I couldn't climb anywhere past about 23,000... otherwise the 764 went into a stall.
Frustrated, I exited the flight, as i thought i'd stuffed up something when i installed the Fleet aircraft, so i set up a free-flight to just test things out, and all the default aircraft & add-on aircraft (PMDG 747-400x/8i + MD11x) all level off at 36,000 feet and fly with no issues.
I'm stumped at this and hence would love any help / thoughts...
Thanks heaps in advance.

Hi, As much as this problem bugged me for the past few days, as usual, the fix was a simple one.... Indicated / True Airspeed selection in the FSX Options section!!
Must be what the aircraft use to calculate their stall warnings with, and hence the plane's severe nose-high attitude.
Thanks for looking, and hope this post helps someone else out in the future...
