I wrote a training guide to help folks who were struggling to take off in the 109E-4 without taking a trip across country. The procedure is similar for all the 109s (The K-4 is very slippery on the ground and needs extra care).Take off procedure for SDOE Bf109E-4 (PP5.3b version)
1. Close throttle (10% indicated on HUD).
2. Start engine.
3. Release brake.
4. Use the rudder to ensure you are aligned with the runway as you slowly roll forwards.
5. Apply light backwards pressure on the stick to hold the tail down.
6. Open throttle to 45% and leave it there
7. As aircraft gathers speed use right rudder to keep aligned with runway.
8. Once you reach approximately 60 miles and hour, lift the tail up.
9. Use left rudder to counter the swing to the right once the tail comes up.
10. At 100 miles an hour, gently apply back pressure on the stick until the aircraft lifts off.
Notes:-
Practise using the F3 chase view to see how the aircraft acts.
The snap from left to right can be quite severe if you use more than 45% throttle.
If you try to lift off before enough speed is attained the left wing will drop (stall)
In real life 20 degree flaps would be used. No flaps are needed in SDOE.
Apply too much throttle and the torque will get the better of you.
Try to lift the tail up to soon will result in the aircraft swinging to the left or right.

- shag rudder slight left when plane reaches 70mph, slowly bring rudder back to center. I don't know if this was accurate for the plane as I don't have that kind of data yet, nor do I know if it swung when the airspeed was low.
