mhamilto Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Just purchased and installed the new Optica. Looks like a great aircraft for low-level flying. I am having difficulties on the takeoff roll. I set takeoff flaps and parking brake is released. I cant accelerate over 40 knots and the aircraft goes into an oscillation. Then the sim crashes saying I have damaged the landing gear. I am guessing it is something to do with ballast or similar. I have reduced eyesight and have difficulty reading the manual. Can anyone suggest a fix to the takeoff? Thank you.

Nick Cooper Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hello, as a first step, please make sure that the flight model in MSFS is set to Modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intedeco Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Can you explain how to set flight model in MSFS to Modern. Also, plane seems to bank left all the time with calm winds. Any solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hello, welcome to the forums. You can change the model at Options\General\Flight Model. You may need to add someone to the right seat to correct the balance of the aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhamilto Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thank you. Setting the Flight Mode to Modern has solved the problem. (Options, General, Flight Model is the way to set the mode to Modern). I didn't see this in the pdf that comes with the aircraft. Perhaps this would be something to add in future releases of the manual anyway? Thanks for an interesting aircraft. I will have fun with it now. Good job by Orbx on something other than scenery. And at an affordable price. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't know the purpose of the other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hello, if you use a converted FSX model, then the "Legacy" model is far better than the modern one. I expect that eventually the promised backwards compatibility might become a reality. In the meantime it is at least one compromise. I have been told that the line will be added to the manual.
