@Thorsten
I like the 747-400, so I'll have a look at the FCS. Thanks
@AndersG

The 747-8 is vertically to nimble. Laterally, it flies pretty accurately from what I can tell -- never flown an 747 or 747sim.
The issue with the 747-400 is that the FDM tries to emulate fly by wire, but I think that is not lovely to do in the FDM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (well, maybe you can, I don't know.)
My point is, my AP can't fly is, because when he does, he eventually put's full trim down, and the plane is still at 15+ pitch! So......
In a later version I plan to use the elevator, as per real life, and then have the trim adjust to keep the elevator centered.
My conclusion on the 747-400 is that it is unfinished. If someone decides to work on it, then maybe all this will be solved! (is someone? I don't know) The 747-8i is unfinished, but stable, so These things don't occur.

If this is the 747-400 by Gijs it may be that the trim channel actually adjusts the horizontal stabilizer rather than bias the elevator position.
