Hi!I tried Samdim's TU-114 AI, which is very nice.Only, it won't take off.I tried every fix for configs, changing air-files, etc.but no go.Can someone help?Grateful for any.....Hans HermanssonSweden

Hans,The Tupolev 114 is a great aircraft but, cannot understand why you can't takeoff with it?What speed are you doing when you rotate, have you got the trim and flaps set?A little more information is required for help?Dave T. .........On the Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/http://www.captainsim.com/user/dl/c130/c130_captain.gifhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg

Dave,I think he's trying to use it as AI. Hans,I, for one, am not familiar with a specific AI model - care to provide a link?

I've had this plane in my library for some time but have never flown it except once and now just for the 2nd time. Was able to takeoff but it seemed to takeoff too fast, that is it left the runway before building any speed. Flys very nice but I haven't attempted a landing with her yet. Will work on that.As to leaving the ground too fast, next time I'll mark the speed @ rotation since there was no effort on my part before. One must set the flaps to 25* and trin to 1.5-2.0 before accelerating.

Adding to my previous post;Rotation occurred @ 138 kts. But I only had 14% fuel, but a full load of passengers. So I'll redo later with a full fuel load to see if more speed is attained. Rotation is said to be @ 150 kts.2 problems I have are: 1)Plane bounces on tarmack for a few seconds before settling down; 2)Building crash @ Brisbane (YBBN)when on taxi way. What is up with that? Possible conflicting AFCADS? Using VOZ and an AFCAD. Will check this one out.

Yes Micheal, I didn't notice, thanks.Dave T. .........On the Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/http://www.captainsim.com/user/dl/c130/c130_captain.gifhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg
