Trouble lifting off?

Hello!
I recently tried my hand at downloading and installing additional aircraft for FS2002. Two of the craft, Embraer 145 & L1011 would not lift off even at sufficient speed with the yoke fully pulled back. The 757 I downloaded worked fine. Does anyone have any advice as what I might look for to solve this problem? Ailerons, rudder, elevators, etc. all seem to be in working order.
Thanks,
Roger

If i remember rightly the L1011 needs the flaps setting in a certain way in order to take off ........ two hits on F7 I think as the leading edge slats are the first hit. Try the same with the embarer.

Also, ensure that the autopilot is not negaged and that you have setup an appropriate trim for takeoff

The Embraer is quite nose heavy just like in real life so make sure you have about 9' flaps and the trim is a must it has got to be in the green at about 7 up.

Another trick is to reduce your fuel load. Don't leave yourself short though

Haven't tried the L1011 yet.

I'm not familiar with these aircraft, but if they've got variable-pitch props make sure the pitch is set correctly. I had the same problem getting a Mooney Bravo off the ground, until I realized my props were practically feathered.
