RCAF_Gunner's Lanc

[Flt.Lt.Andrew]

Hey,
I've downloaded RCAF_Gunner's superb FS 2002 Lancaster, for use on my FS 2004.
The controls seem to be "stuffed".
That is, its fine on the ground, but when I ease the stick back for take off, it just wont pull up. (Yes, I've got the correct take off speeds.) I tried slew mode and the thing just seemed to want to say hello to the ground and I couldnt pull up. I checked the Joystick and its working fine. Any ideas?

Have you checked the loadout?

Loadout! Aye!
Is it an issue with the craft ?

I downloaded the file to check this out for you although I haven't installed the aircraft. It's actually an update for Dave Garwood's FS2002 Lanc to make it flyable in FS9. Make sure you installed the files in the correct order. I copied this from the instructions included with the update.

Troubleshooting
---------------

After the first release of this update (V1.0), the most common problem occurred when people installed the Lancaster B.III aircraft package *after* they had installed the updated files.  This would cause the updated files to be replaced with the original and, in effect, cancel out the update.

The flight model was designed to be flown with the realism setting at "hard" and reflects the data in the war time Pilot's Notes and other real world data.  Depending on what you're use to flying in Flight Simulator, you may find take-offs challenging in the Lancaster because it requires a good sized runway to come up to speed and it climbs slowly.  Follow the take-off procedures in the udpated check list and also check the reference speeds.

If you find that on a 5000' runway you still can't take off even when following the correct procedures (i.e. you just seem to be completely lacking power), it's a likely sign that the update files didn't get installed in the correct location or in the correct order.  If you suspect that's the case, just re-run the update auto-installer with it pointing to your FS2004 directory and that should correct the problem.
