DHC3 flying pitch down

Very nice to fly, good sensation of being "heavy". The sounds are excellent.
Anyhow, I find something weird when flying the DHC3. Pitch is too way down even if climbing (at a rate of 400 FPM), thus from the pilot view you cannot see the horizon line. This needs adjustment.

Thanks for your input. The person who made the flight dynamics is an actual otter pilot so we won’t be changing this as it’s not wrong.

It seems it's associated with the flaps position. If the flaps are deployed to the suggested position according to the flight status (flap indication in front of the pilot and copilot), the aircraft pitchs the noise down too much, and that could not be real. A real pilot never looks an aircraft from the outside!

Again, this is how the real deal flies. If you don't believe it, why not ask a real otter pilot?
