Cant take off in the HE129

[planesyplanesy]

Has anyone else had problems with this relatively new aircraft in BOM?

 

Tail wheel locked, both engines selected, gradual increase in power, correct swing with rudder and then.......she just keeps veering straight off the runway??

 

Any ideas please?

 

Thanks

Are you checking the RPM to make sure they are the same in both engines?..............  1, engine one, 2, engine two...........0 all engines selected.............  there are some quirks to the 129 like there were with the 110's when I first started playing, start engine one and then when engine two starts engine one quits.............. I'm sure they are listening to the complaints and will have everything fixed in the next update.

 

Cheers

First off, there is no tailwheel lock on this plane. 

 

Something to be checked : hold the plane on the brakes and increase power. See if there is no difference in ATA/RPM between egines. If yes, throttle to iddle, unselect both engines and select them again. That can happen sometimes when you touch the throttle when only one engine is started.

 

If everything is correct, you can use a bit of braking to correct trajctory on the runway. Like on the Ju88, the rudder isn't very effective if the plane roll below 80-100 km/h. Brakes can help you keep it straight on the runway during the initial acceleration.

Before you start the engines, set the mixture for both engines to 100% (full rich).

Enable boost (ctrl+b by default) to unlock takeoff power (1.5 ata / 1 min)...

yes, boost and set manual control of propellers, so you can ensure you have max rpm/ fine pitch. Auto only works in flight for combat power IIRC.

I had the same problem. But it worked when I move the stick backwards to block the tail wheel.
