I’ve noticed that under a heavy load, when taking off the XLR will make a wheelie and settle back down once the speed gets around the hundreds.

Did you set the pitch trim correctly? You may have to change the pitch trim significantly if the CG is far aft, as it might be when the rear center tank is full.

Thank you, I will check this out tonight.

Nothing changes. The front wheels are still lifting off the ground. And even when the front wheels touch the ground, they still don't seem to be touching it.

Is this on android or Mac? Just wanted to add (no exaggeration) I did in excess of 500 take offs with the A321 XLR whilst building my last systems mod, I never saw that happen once on PC
The A350 does nose up on take off with 'low weights' even with correct trim, but that is due to too high v speeds calculated by the OIS/FMGS, so I use real world data for speeds, instead of the sim calculations
