Ragnar65 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Guys, I´m desperetaly trying to get the Anton airborne. Standing on the runway, stick back to lock the tailwheel, trim is neutral. Everything works fin until i lift in the air. Whatever I do, the plane drifts to the left and crashes. Can´t figure what I am doing wrong. Maybe anyone of you can help? See enclosed trackfile. Thanks alot!FW-190 Start.trk X-56 HOTAS, TFRP Pedals Modules: F-5E, FC3, F/A-18C, Mirage 2000 C, AV-8BNA, FW-190 A-8, F-16C Viper SystemSpecs: AMD A8-6600K (4x3,9GHz), 16 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX1070 8GB, WIN10 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExplosion Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Full right rudder at the start of takeoff. Slowly center stick and let go of the rudder at about 100 - 120 kph. If you leave stick back she takes off too early. Once you centered the stick you can basically wait for her to take off by herself.

Cunctator Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 My guess is that your AoA became too high and your left wing stalls. I must have crashed the Fw 190 dozens of times because of this when I was learning to take off correctly. It is important to center the stick at 120 kph. At that speed ruder authority is sufficient to keep the plane straight and it is not longer required to lock the tail wheel. I've found this video to be very helpful. It is explained at about the 18:00 minute mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar65 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks guys, guess that´s exactly what happens... As I´m used to fly jets, it´s pretty more demanding getting that Warbird into the air... ;-) X-56 HOTAS, TFRP Pedals Modules: F-5E, FC3, F/A-18C, Mirage 2000 C, AV-8BNA, FW-190 A-8, F-16C Viper SystemSpecs: AMD A8-6600K (4x3,9GHz), 16 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX1070 8GB, WIN10 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plane with heavy wing loading needs a lot of power for confident take off. And don't retard power too early, At alt 300 m you can start thinking about reducing power. Like video above, keep take off attitude until get some height, FW 190 likes to sink quite significantly.
