Problem with detecting takeoff

[Donatelo]

Hi
I have a problem that sometimes when I taxi to the runway, passegers fear and satisfication get very low with the reason "Passengers
are angry that you rolled out of the runway during takeoff". The problem is that I was not in the runway, and was not taking off (I am still on
ground).

What's wrong?

At what speed did you taxi?

[Donatelo]

ABOUT 32, which is allowed in straight taxiways.

[Jetflyer]

I taxi at 25kts

You taxi at 50kts?

You um, know with a cessna you can rotate at this speed right? Real life and sim? >.>

[Donatelo]

In real life Boeing taxiing up to 40 kts on straight taxiways,
and that is irrelevant.

I was not on runway and the aircraft has not taken off.
So this has to be fixed.

SIr, YES SIR!

Hmm, some googling showed me the max taxi speed for a 747 is 20 kts and for a 777 25 kts. But besides that, there is an issue with addon scenery and
rolling off the runway. Do you use any addon airport in this case?

That the famous "AFCAD" problem... visually you see an airways but in fact in Fs9 it's declared as grass or other surface,
scenery author's fault... this is not a speed problem.

this was discussed a lot already try a forum search
(I must add it in the FAQ but I'm blocked by my bad english, a complete explaination should be well written)

I'm assuming you're quoting this from your extensive knowledge of every Boeing AOM? As far as I'm aware, we'll use 20KTS as
a "maximum taxi speed". Sure, the aircraft CAN taxi faster, and occasionally during high speed runway exits, we'll taxi very quickly;
however the point is that SAFETY is of utmost concern in modern commercial aviation! Taxiing at 40KTS is just not very safe!
