bobpu Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I can't get the Optica to lift off. With full throttle it accelerates to about 35 knots and then the nose wheel lifts off. As speed increases the main wheels start to bounce and skid on the runway and speed will not get above about 50 knots and the stall warning starts beeping. I have tried 2 different joysticks as well as using the throttle in the sim to see if I can get more engine power (it tops out at about 2300rpm) with no success. I have tried adding more forward ballast to hold the nose wheel down to no effect. I have tried various levels of positive and negative trim and flap settings with no success. Can anyone suggest anything else I should try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hello, please make sure that the in game flight model is set to "Modern". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpu Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hi Nick, Thanks, already spotted this. Looks like one of the recent sim updates set the model back to Legacy and I didn't notice. It's been on Modern since I bought the sim. Everything working perfectly now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyla1 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I could not seem to get enough power to climb after takeoff. I was starting each flight on active runway with engine running. I finally noticed that the mixture was setting itself less than half. After setting mixture to full, I've had no more issues with this aircraft and find it to be a great little sight seeing plane for low and slow flights. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacewolf1 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Just buy Optica, and had the same problem of losing power after take off. In Option, I had "assisted takeoff" actived. I try with "assisted takeoff" disable and... the problem disapeared. Conflict / incompatibility with this option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
