Hello, I have an issue with the Overland SMS A300. While I was test flying the SMS A300-600R in FS2004, I noticed that the SMS A300-600 has a tendency to accelerate too fast on takeoff. I rotate it at about 165 knots, then, after a few seconds after takeoff, it accelerates to almost 200 knots. What can be the problem?
I know I posted this previously on flightsim, I did not get suggestions on how to resolve this issue w/ my plane so I thought I might ask it on here.
Here is my configuration of the SMS A300-600R:
