TakeOff Problem???

Postby BuzzDatAzz » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:26 pm

OK I have the open sky a340-200 (I think that is right), anyway it is a "heavy" plane, 4 engines. All is well until I taxi to the run way and throttle up, then when I "rotate" to take off the nose lifts and about half way through pitching the planes rear gear starts bouncing like the plane has hydrolics, needless to say I crash and burn on the runway never getting off the ground. I have flaps extended and all settings checked. I have tried about 20 times to take off in this plane, but no joy!!! I don't know if this is an aircraft.cfg issue or what, thanks in advance for you help guys!!! ;)

Check your weight.. with full passengers and full fuel, you're probably over MGTOW.

You can do this when you have the plane sleected in the create a flight screen.. or after it loads in the fuel and payload pull-down..

Yes, JBaymore I did ask this question before, but then after i corrected the weight issue it is happening again. I changed my weight in the aircraft.cfg and now I am not overweight anymore, so I thought maybe it was something else thats all.
