Takeoff problems

Normally, I set the trim on the Boeing 737-800 to 10%—which has always been sufficient—but I just had to set it to 60% for takeoff, and for the A350-1000, I even had to set it to 100%.

Hello. Did you try to calibrate your device using the calibrate button in the pause menu?

Make sure you’re using the correct flap setting and rotation speed, the A350-1000 should rotate pretty easily at, for example, 50% load, with 40% trim, flaps 2, 90% power, and a rotation speed of 145kts. Each aircraft has different trim/flap/power settings and rotation speeds, and there are plenty of guides here on the community forum and places like YouTube with detailed charts.

Make you always calibrate your device before takeoff. That might solve the problem. If not, have a look at the guide below. It won’t have all the aircrafts since it’s outdated but still useful for the aircrafts that are there.

I’ve also got this issue too. Trim set at 30% on the MAX which is what I usually set it too. Today flew relatively light but it required me to pull back a lot more than what it usually does. V Speed was fine, calculated on SimBrief, flaps all set too

Calibrated fine too

At what speed was v1?

@Liva04G I’ve worked it out. It’s the new flight assist thing they added. Make sure you turn if off!

That makes sense. I had similar issues, and found it was on!
