Now we can see the screens,looks like you hit the tail when you took off it comes with most of the opensky planes

Edit,looks like you fixed it ;)

I guess thats what you get when you stray too far from the flight deck during a flight ;D
I'm forever reminding my Captain "To the bar & back only sir - you've got 2 hours, starting ...................now!!"

I've never seen a 747 bounce like that.

I hate POSky jets. I can never get them off the ground.
Plus the sounds are always Cessna defaults. wtf?

Posky models are nice but can do some strange things. Problably did have a tail strike on that one. And the only time I've seen bouncing like that is when crash detection is turned off

Awhile back I was climbing out of CDG just fine and airspeed was holding 250 kts. At about 9,000 feet I suddenly went into a stall for no reason. Even when the speed increased to 300 kts and I pointed the nose down it wouldn't recover. Kind of strange :-/
They are nice models though...I think the cessna sound and panel is on some of the old models. The new ones seem to be just fine

You may need to re-apply for the pilot's license you never had....

About aircraft which cannot take off or stall at 250 kts
I had this unable to take off joke.
I played with the Ctrl E, A, T to see what would open. and in fact the Ctrl T "virtualy" folded the wings, not visible off course but removing almost all portance. I retried with the wings extended and it went OK.

I have also experienced this with a few POSKY jets. I've never had any serious takeoff issues, but there was one time when, after taking off from JFK and climbing to FL105 or so, my aircraft stalled. Like Triple_7 said I got the nose down at significant airspeed, but still no recover. It just flatspinned and crashed.... dissappointing.

No such trouble with mine, although if you pull back too early (or have too much trim dialed in) it'll rotate without climbing, which can definitely get the tail dragging on the ground. I think the real 747s will also do that.

Crash detection must have been off
