747 TAKEOFF PROBLEM

[Chanel]

Ive tried no cargo ive taken as much weight out as possible but as soon as i rotate the nose just rises and no takeoff ??? Ive tried everything ive rotated just before V1 to get maximum lift aswell but NOTHING ? someone please help

Which version of 747 are you using ?
If you're using the stock version a simple increace of the engine thrust will give more power for take-off

I am using the DLC version CLS Bundle ?

I also have that 747 and when I fisrt attempted to fly it I found that it was under powered even after setting the plane to a take-off configuration re-comended by CLS so I increased the jet power from 1.0 to 1.3 and take-offs became smooth and normal

How do i increase Thrust power i have already had the engine on full thrust on take off and still nothing...
Thanks

Trim is set for a slight rise I set my VS in the autopilot to a minumum of 2000 fps. I've found engine power settings in the aircraft.cfg file tobe generic and and unrealistic a incease gives the plane a more realisic performance while flying

So Is there any easy way to fix this problem As i just ppurchased this DLC and id like to play it
Any help appreciated :D

I will message this discussion if i need further assistance
:D

Are you goin at 150 knots or above. Thats the takeoff speed. The plane rotates early but if your not at the speed, then it will just stay like that.

are you new to fsx?
Have a look at the fuel on the main menu.
its set to 100% by default and near max weight, which is so heavy, the 747 wont takeoff, no matter how long the runway is.
When i was new to fsx i did not know how to change the fuel and had the same problem:)
So try to set down the fuel to 10% and the weight either and have a look:)

Good flying
