So I have purchased the MD 80/81 jetliner, and it works. But there is one problem. when i try to descent, the the plane won't point "down", Or i can't get the plane to go under the horizontal line. In other word's; It won't descent, witch mean i can't land. So until i know what to do, i can't use the plane.

Please help! Thanks

so, what means you can´t descend ? manually or automatically ?

Trim is your friend, my friend. Use it well. And use it without restraint. (Though, if you have it on autopilot with the VS pegged in the negative and you don't descend then Mr. Friemelt you by far have the floor )

If you're using the autopilot, and altitude hold, you have to set the vertical speed. Depending on how fast you have to get down, use between -1600 and -2200. The lower the number (-2200) the fast you descend. Do not go over -2200. Payware planes are different than default and freeware, you have to do these kind of things manually unlike default where they unrealistically do it for you.

It just manually. I tested it by taking it on a small flight (only 17NM) and i could only climb and fly horizontal.

then the plane is not trimmed correctly

Trim your airplane... ailerons, rudder, spoiler, etc... Trim everything, including your tires (me being silly). An airplane that is properly trimmed literally flies itself. Also, check to make sure your airspeed is satisfactory upon approach.
