Take off always too soon! - A3 610 - 28-07-2012
Hello everyone!
I am a new user. I own fspassengers for fs2004. My problem is the following...
Whenever i try to fly with fspassengers while rolling for take off i always, always take off 10 knots before Vr. (This problem does NOT appear when i
fly without FSP). I tried to play with the fuel settings, cargo loads etc but no luck. The aircraft takes off 10 maybe 15 knots before Vr. I searched
the forums to see if someone had the same problem as me. I found 2 simmers with similar problems but their topics made no difference for me.
Anyway, as soon as i launch Fs2004 i choose my aicraft, which lately is the Wilco A320. Choose the fuel load from the default Fs2004 menu. Then i
download the weather etc. and launch Fs2004. When i am at gate i launch FSP and use the default A320 payload manager. From there, i do not choose any
fuel but i only choose the passengers, the cargo weights and i make sure the CG is perfectly in position. Then when the sheet with Vspeeds and CG
comes out i fill in the parameters in the Wilco's FMC. After that i procced to taxi and take off.
I do not know if am doing anything wrong but i seek help from more expert simmers. Maybe i have to fix the trim during take off?! But why this does
not happens when i play without FSP?
Thanks a lot for your time reading this! Really appreciate!

I'm not sure that I see a problem as long as your takeoff is uneventful and your landing is on time. Make sure you feed your pax and
everything should be okay.
Re: Take off always too soon! - A3 610 - 28-07-2012
Yeah its uneventful but i mean its a little bit annoying! So, if someone here has a solution i would be gratefull!
Also, as soon as i take off i have a pitch of 15-20 degrees and rate of climb 3000 plus. I put full throttle and nose down but its really hard to
keep it under 10 degrees pitch. After about 4000 feet in begins slowly to go back to normal...i dont know what causes this!
So, i understand it is uneventful but it at the same time annoying so if some kind simmer out there is willing to help i would be really really gratefull!

Are you flying the plane or is the auto-pilot taking off for you? Your plane should fly only in the manner in which you pilot it.

make shure trim is set correctly about 2.0 for most default airliners works fine. also take note of where the CG is before starting the flight
Re: Take off always too soon! - gbapache - 29-07-2012
Yeah!! What Tim said.
I know that I'm ratting myself out but I never set trim. For me it's collective full up and cyclic forward, Max altitude 20 feet.

Ok. I will check the trim setting when flying with FSP and let you know. However, i am still puzzled because this problem does not happen when i fly
without FSP. The CG is right in the middle of the payload manager chart.
I will let you know with the trim setting.
Thanks again for your time
Re: Take off always too soon! - timtomairways - 29-07-2012
if the CG is good. then are you useing a payload modle included with FSP or a downloaded one. Sometimes they may be the colpret. Or it could be
the aircraft it self.
I had a CRJ200 once that was impossible to fly. It was unstable, it took off to early. and was alyways tail heavy. so it could be a badly designed
aircraft
Re: Take off always too soon! - A3 610 - 29-07-2012
Ok! I tried the trim setting that Tim told and BOOM...everything worked fine. Did not took off too soon or too late. Just exactly as Vr adviced! I set
the trim to 2.0 from 0.0 and worked like magic. Thanks a lot Mr. Tim!
By the way,i do not think i used some bad aircraft. I fly the Wilco A320!
Anyway, i think this post may close as i found the solution!
Thanks again everyone for your time and patience!
