ddh206 Cadet	posted 06-08- 10:57 PM Does anyone know how completely remove torque effects. I've turned it off but I still can't get off the ground. Thanks IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 06-08- 11:21 PM ddh: Which planes are you trying to takeoff? Some are very difficult, especially the betas. Try a P-38..no torque effect. If you still can't take off it's not torque. How long have you had SDOE? I ask since this is your first post. The FM on the planes is quite sophisticated. You need proper use of flaps, rudder, ailerons and throttle to take off well. If you're new at it maybe you just need practice. Keep us posted. There are a lot of people here ready to help.

Nat Pilot	posted 06-10- 07:16 PM generaly I find that with bad torque, you should set throttle to no more than 40% for take off, atleast until the tail rises, but often until you're off the ground. ~Nat~ ------------------ JV44 "Naturlich" If you can't out run em.. <B>OUT GUN EM!</B> <B>Nats FS-SDOE Site</B> IP: Logged
Mighty Pilot	posted 06-10- 07:19 PM Do you have a crosswind? I've seen people mistake that for torque, before. IP: Logged
Snake Pilot	posted 06-14- 06:22 PM If you trying to take off with a tail draggind single engined a/c like the P-51 then maybe its because your taking off like a tricycle undercarriage. For the P-51: Flaps down one notch 40% throttle increasing slowly to about 60% Don't touch the joystick yet use the rudder to stay straight When the tail lifts got to full throttle and when you reach about 100mph airspeed gently pull back on the stick. Thats for the P-51 which a delicate plane to land and take off and fly in. The FW-190 needs just full throttle and haul the stick back while the Corsair is almost impossoble to keep on the centre line during a take off. Just be gentle and they will fly. IP: Logged
