Aircraft losing power on takeoff

Aircraft losing power on the takeoff roll. Have serched this forum with no resultsย ๐Ÿ™

Blacksquare bonanza, and speed never gets above 60kts, so I abort the takeoff.

I don't have this aircraft but lets see...

Are you losing power orย not gaining power ? I mean do you see a decrease of the MP and/or RPM during the rollย  or you just can't rev up the Bonanza to the recommended settings ?

Assuming that you don't take off at high altitude, your mixture setup is set on rich ?ย

Not at a high altitudeย  - at sea level. Yes Iย see a decrease of the MP and/or RPM during the takeoff roll. With throttle to the wall it builds up to 60kts but nothing more.

Strange.ย  Do you not have a conflicting controller perhaps which is decreasing thrust?

I think I will reinstall the Bonanza, but thanks to all that repliedย ๐Ÿ™‚

Check your assistance settings and make sure you don't have assisted takeoff set to on.

Make sure that the in-game flight model is set to MODERN.

If none of the above suggestions work, perhaps post a video of your take-off, someone might spot an issue or can identify its exact behavior and point to the cause

Another thing to check, as I have experienced this with the Black Square Bonanza and Baron myself, is to check the health of the engine on the weather radar in the cockpit. As you were learning the aircraft, and figuring out how to get it started, you could have caused damaged to the engine, which is simulated in the Black Square aircraft. Also, in the BS aircraft, it is imperative that you follow the startup checklists verbatim.ย

What about prop pitch?

Beagle12,ย  not sure if you checked, but I had something similar with the Twin Hawker. I was using HC TwinJet config and inadvertently had the "second engine" control set to idle.ย  The Hawker engine would increase to max, but suddenly roll back. When I moved the "unused throttle control" to max, normal operation was restored. Check your controllers for a conflict.
