I'm not new to this aircraft in FSX but have now moved over to P3D 4.3. Pretty much works as predicted. Lot to learn and re-learn but despite check list and tutorials I still get warning noise when I push throttles to take off. No sign of what is wrong but if I ignore it stops as I climb away. As far as I can see all the usual stuff is set and looks fine. Thereafter the flight continues as normal. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Check flaps? You're asking us to assume "all the usual stuff."  You are not configured for takeoff, number one item is usually not having at least Flap-1.

Check the following:

Stabiliser trim in the green range, flaps set in the 1 to 15 take off range, speed brake down, parking brake off.

...and not armed.

A lot of people who came from our MD-11 product (myself included) got caught by that one.

Same with the L-1011 Tristar.

I think it is the speedbrake which I have armed. ie up. Will try out later.

 

Many thanks
