PSS A340 take off?

[Guest Taylor Dumont]

Hello all, i just purchased PSS A340 and decided to take it for a spin. i set the throttle to TOGA but when i tried to pull back to take off the nose just slammed back into the ground and i almost ran out of runway before i set the altitude hold to 10000 and engaged the autopilot...which got the plane off the ground. i know you can take off manually so what did i do wrong. also what do i have to do to make sure i can land with crashing..and no a/p?

are you using some type of flight controls/joystick?what did you set the loadedit utility as for ZFW and BLOCK fuel load?several tutorials can be found at the Phoenix siteJohn PSS SUPPORTsupport@phoenix-simulation.co.ukhttp://www.avsim.com/pss/phoenix.jpg

i think i input 173.0 for ZFW...also i just noticed but during the take-off the altitude knob was at 100 ft and i couldnt t/o and when i tried to land it was at 3000 ft and i couldnt land...i also had A/THR engaged but the a/p disengaged. Any help?

well, which knobs were switched on, and which were off?did you try to autoland, or did you land manually?

Your take-off problems sounds like a wrong trim-setting to me. Make sure you have the correct Up-trim for take-off. Check it on the F/CTL page of the lower ECAM. You need an uptrim of about 2.7. Then you should be all set. Regards Tom
