Hello folks,

Thanks for your help at the GPS Problem,it worked :d !.Now I have another problem,after I got my Takeoff Clearance from ATC,I takeoff with an Airbus 319-100,and my speed is 160 kts,but when I pull back my stick.it doesn't go,it takes off when the speedometer goes to 240 kts and by the time it is there,I am way off the airport.BTW,I used Full Throttle on the takeoff but why does my plane takeoff this late?

Have you added some flaps? (f7)

That's all I can think of right now. I don't have the 'plane in question so it's a little tricky to help.

Who switched the lights off? I can't see a thing....... Hold on, my eyes were closed. Oops, my bad...............&&

have you checked the control sensitivities if they are set to low the responce will be very slow. or it could be that your joy stick may be disabled or unpluged. thats all i know to try. ???

a little pitch trim might help also. But it really should not be necessary. But use about 15 degrees flap and give it a go, at higher speeds than 170-190, the aircraft will eventually take off by itself.

Yes, flaps will work, but it's my understanding that flaps are very, very, VERY rarely used during take off...my guess is more along the lines of a controller or controller settings issue...you also might want to calibrate your stick...

well as for the airbus, flaps are allways used for takeoff, which also include slats, the problem I find with most downloaded airbus's, is that the .air files are inacurate, the best thing to do is go and download the project airbus, and see if the problem still exist, they have the most realistic .air file. if not would bet its a joystick problem, my old thrustmaster just gave out, and wont turn right, has a bad potensiometer. rotation on the 319 should be between 188 and 170 knts, depending on aircraft weight.

I was indoctrinated into Boeing with work, also, so I hear where you're coming from.

First time I saw an Airbus pit with no yoke, I immediately had one thought...

Unless the captain is left handed, that could be really tricky!

Not quite. Flaps are almost ALWAYS used for take-off, even in Boeings. The "normal" procedure for a 737 is 5-15 degrees, depending on wind and rwy length. Actually, you could say that you are more using forward slats than the actual flaps...
