very nice shots nexus:)
And yes for the A340-300 its very normal, so much so its even scary. Those hairdryers struggle enough to get the thing into the air, then when they use the lower thrust setting it barely manages to climb and it certainly has a shallow climb

I knew abolut the slow climb rate reputation, I was more asking about the high VR speed :)
I only used flaps 1 for takeoff, maybe I should've gone to another notch, just to decrease the VR speed?

I think the slow climb rate rumour is a bit exaggerating. when I hit thrust reduction altitude the aircraft performed okay, not a rocket of course, but just make sure you don't chase the managed speed settings and the A343 will climb in a decent manner.

And I didn't use all the thrust available,

lol cool.
I dont know about the high VR speed, but i suppose it would give theory 4 engines 4 long haul wasnt talking about its range but more the distance it travels on the runway:)
