Hi there, I read an article on here this morning about making realistic takeoffs, I tried what was suggested and I still I rotated 1/3 down the runway,
These were my settings:
767
Trim 10%
FLAPS 5
weight normal
No wind
Heathrow 09R
VR 90%
Throttle 69%
Why is this happening? My takeoffs aren’t realistic at all, cab you help me to SEE HOW I CAN HAVE LONGER TAKEOFF RUNS?
Thanks a lot :)

Hi Adam,
I only roll down the runway for about 10-20 seconds, not even that! I then rotate at 1 third of the runway as I mentioned, if you watch takeoff videos online aircraft takeoff a lot later than that!
Thanks
Yup! Takes off pretty quickly.
Throttle at 69% = 89% N1.
Maybe lower that to about 80.
Otherwise try an aircraft with an updated flight model, like the 777 or 787.
I found that putting N1 at 80% really helps.
When rotating around 150 kts, slowly get to a VS of 2500 and adjust the throttle to not loose speed.
I noticed the purple Trim indicater goes away at a setting of 75%!!
I guess that’s a lot, but the takeoff was perfect. 😀
@Jules_Race advance to 40-50% to start, and slowly ease up to your desired power. You don’t need the whole of LHRs runway, but that should get you a decent roll.
I know that but what does it mean like your throttle has reached where you want it or something because I know they don’t instantly get to full power???
