Antonov 124 lack of power?

[Nessim]

I like heavy transports, want to simulate a real flight between Denver Intl. to Vandenberg AFB (CA) carrying Atlas rocket boosters, whith the Thoma's Ruth Antonov 124 freeware.
Load the plane with 75.000 kg + fuel, both below the max TO weigth.
You can imagine the problem: The airplane doesn't lift, she reach 175+ knots at runway's end and do not take off.

Trying too with flaps in poss. 1, 2, no flaps,...
I trying in Los Angeles Intnl. (thinking Denver is a little high) and the same results. Seems lack of power.

These are long (or normal) runways, no?

Some idea?

Thank for reading my confession.

It shouldn't be a lack of power, if you're able to get it to "175+ knots ".
Try some up trim on the elevator. (might need alot of it)

[Sean_TK]

Beyond any temperature and density altitude issues, as groundbound stated, you may need to put in some stabilizer trim prior to rotation. (Probably something between 3 and 5 degrees...)

[Nessim]

Thanks a lot for answer me.

Are you using the autopilot?

[Nessim]

No, no autopilot in takeoff. I even change the panel into a standar 747. Same result.

The problem seems to be inacurated config files, to me. I'm not sure what version works well, since this aircraft have many (some)repaints/versions above the Ruth textures. The panels ain't very good too (Sorry and thanks for the people who made it).

I transfered the cargo in a Cargolux 747-400 F (Opensky) - a lot of time and money lost-

The problem appears to be in the FDE, modified default 747 .cfg and .air files.

I've done some .cfg tinkering with the [weight_and_balance], [TurbineEngineData] and others, and although it's better it's still a struggle to get up at 75% MTOW at MSL.

Probably requires someone with more knowlege in such things to straighten it out.

Although I'm not a virtual aircraft engineer and I'm not sure this will fix the problem, you might want to give AirWrench a try to fix the problem ...
