Hi everyone I just wanted to know how to take-off in fs2004 with aircraft like the sga 737 and sga md-80's. For some reason ever since I used the thrust reverser the base throttle on my joystick ( lowest the throttle switch will go on my joystick) the throttle power would be 20% to 30% and when putting it under the thrust reversers would activate. So I am just wondering how to take-off with the throttle like this because when I want to take off and put my throttle up the throttle would go over 100% they aircraft would reach speeds of 200mph+ when taking off with flaps and all. Please Help.

I'm not familiar with the particular aircraft versions you are using, but there are a few general comments I can make:Many transports have checklists that recommend a notch or two of flaps for takeoff on normal length runways. While any use of flaps will increase drag and reduce the speed the aircraft can fly at, the increase in lift and reduction of takeoff roll distance becomes a factor. Higher flap settings are typically recommended for approach and landing when reducing landing roll out distance is a concern. At that time the fuel has been expended, reducing the gross weight the wings have to support (thus requiring a lower air speed) and reducing momentum that has to be dissipated to decelerate to taxi speed. As you didn't indicate how much flaps you are using, it's hard to say much about what the maximum speed at that configuration would be.If the pilot needs to limit the aircraft's speed during the initial climb a simple option would be to pull back on the stick/yoke, increasing the climb rate which will reduce or limit the aircraft's velocity. In the real world that might lead to louder engine noise, but with the resulting higher altitude that noise might affect a smaller area outside the airport perimeter. Requirements may vary depending on the departing traffic pattern and geography around the individual airport. Also be aware that some engines might suffer from a reduced service life if operated for more than a minute or two at maximum thrust. Wether for noise reduction, reaching an altitude goal on a departure chart or preserving the engine service life, the throttle setting may have to be reduced to prevent an over speed (for aircraft limits or regulations) when the climb rate is reduced.
