Taking Off #5

I cannot get this plane to stay in the air. Every time i get it in the air it comes right back down. I really want to fly this plane because it is a very good version of A380 unlike the one on the FG Repository.

Any reason why it won't climb?

Regards, Jarrod

Jarrod-- Hi there! Have you consulted this documentation file from the A380 folder? It gives Omega's detailed instructions on how to start the plane and set the fuel system so it will fly. What you may have been missing is ensuring the fuel tanks were cross-feeding so that the feeder tanks didn't run dry, causing your engines to be fuel starved and shutting down. The documentation is quite comprehensive.

Best wishes,

SkyBoat/David

It is surprising. I've flown it before, and at least in the past, it was able to sustain flight.

May had that changed, it would be not a bad idea to check on older git commits to see if there is any commit in particular having an unintended consequence, too

Best, @IAHM-COL

It is also a huge aircraft, with MTOW over one million pounds. Perhaps you are stalling?

Can someone make a video and post publicly on youtube/vimeo of startup and take off so i know what i am doing wrong. I am going by the guide and even setting my fuel tanks to an even rate. Ugh this is really annoying me. This is the plane i want to learn how to fly.
