You’re positioned in the middle of the lane, ready to take off.
Full realism is a go, except for little things like talking to the ATC.
Before you go “full power!”
remember a few things before take-off.
Before take-off
1-GetCleared for Take-Off.
you could do this automatically by pressing B .
Sometimes when you press the B key you will see the tip suddenly jump to a slightly different value.
3 -Set Flaps by one position (key F7).
Flaps will be very useful either way on very short runways.
By the way,verify if the trimmer wheel is at TO(Take-Off) position.
4 -Check the fuel mixture.
We’re on a runway at 1,900 feet, so it’s too low to reduce it.
The red levershould be pressed to 100%.
5 -Release parking brake.
The default key is Left Ctrl + Del (numeric).
choose the Yoke to hide it and have a better view of the instruments.
The RPM clock should showa value of less than 2500 rpm.
3 -Perform gentle counter-rudder motion.
As soon as you start rolling,the plane starts pulling to the left.
It’s a completely natural behavior with a propeller engine.
The ideal solution will be separate pedals or a torsion joystick handle.
Ultimately, gamepad’s triggers will also work.
Using a keyboard (numeric Enter) can be difficult in this case.
Remember, the first time doesn’t have to be perfect.
However, if this stage does not work out for you (e.g.
See Realism and facilitations chapter for details.
4 -At about 60 knots, gently pull the steer togetherand the aircraft will take off from the ground.
Keep the steer in this position andhide the flaps at the same time (F6).
On planes with retractable landing gear, you must also hide the wheels at this point (G).
The Cessna 152 is not the case.
Don’t make any violent maneuvers, just take it easy with the nose gently raised up.
