I'm stalling into the ground...

This is now the second time in a row this has happened:

I was taxiing up to runway 16L at KSEA, when all of the sudden my 747 - 8i decided to “stall” and nosedive into the taxiway. I tried again 2 minutes later, and the same thing occurred. What is going on?

Have you ever checked your weight and balance. That could be that your too heavy for takeoff. Also your N1 Speed should be at least over 150kts.

Well, I never tried to take off; I was on the taxiway. And my aircraft was well under the MTOW, never mind the MLW…

@A_Plane_Guy MaxSez. Your description of the event is illogical. A screen shoot or more descriptive explanation of this anomaly required in order to offer an explanation or solution. G’day

what your really saying is that whenever you taxi you fall through the map

Exactly, although this is the first time this has happened, and it seems to only occur for me in the 747 8i. I’m testing this in an MD-11 as we speak, hopefully I can get more detail.

You have a corrupt data file. Re install the app. Or close it clear cash reset Ram and try again. It may take several attempts that way.

Nope, I was wrong. This happens with the MD11 as well. I’m pretty sure the solution to this problem is to uninstall/reinstall the app.

try reinstalling your app. that has worked for me in the pass

Try restarting the app. If that doesn’t work, try reinstalling the app like @N1DG said. This sounds like corrupt files.

I’ll confirm if this works soon; right now I’m re-downloading my aircraft.

Nope, hasn’t changed. What else should I do?

Restart you device, update your device. Take some weight out of the plane

As @Brandon_Sandstrom stated this is a known issue and is caused by corrupt data files. Weight has nothing to do with the issue.

Reboot your device first and try again. In some cases a re-install is required.

I sometimes have a similar issue where I spawn and my airplane slowly nose dives into the pavement and the plane ‘stalls’, the camera also goes through the terrain which makes for an interesting view :-) I can usually solve this by restarting the app.

I performed a soft reset on my phone, and everything is back to normal. This topic can now be closed, thanks for the fast solution!
