Providing that I select a runway suitable for the type of Aircraft I am flying, I have no problems taking off, providing that the Auto-pilot is switched off, and the Aircraft correctly Trimmed and centre of gravity allowed for, for take off.
The majority of the Aircraft I fly are General Aviation Piston Props, (the sort you learned you lessons on!), and having spent many years knowing how to fly them correctly, I now have no problems taking off and landing under most conditions.... :)...!

All the years of training (10+) in the Cessna 152/172/Beech Baron 58, etc, paid off well...;)...trust me!....!

Thanks to all who responded to my original question - to which, incidentally, I still haven't had an answer.      After 30+ years as a practising pilot, 8000+ hours, and 180+ types flown, I do know how to unstick an aircraft.     Even on FS, I have about 20+ years experience.    That stlll hasn't helped me to find the tip I was looking for.

Some time ago, I read a tip which detailed the parameter to 'tweak' in order to get an aircraft to unstick at roughly the correct speed.     Can anyone give me a reference?    I have one just now which doesn't look like it would ever unstick regardless of how much 'up' elevator and/or 'up' trim is applied.      They just don't build runways long enough!


Give us a link to this particular troublesome Aircraft, so that we can try it for ourselves, and confirm if it really is a problem!

Now you've got me really curious.  If, in spite of all your expertise, that sucker can't/won't fly sounds like a challenge - bring it on  :).


I can remember, some time ago, I downloaded an Aircraft, which no matter what I did correctly to make it take off from the ground, it just would not, ploughing through all the buildings and vegetation in front of me.... :'(.....

...guess what I did to cure the problem...;)... ;)....

I deleted the Folder, found a similar Aircraft that worked, and got on with the rest of my life!.... ;D...!
