Unusual scenario encountered while flying

Hello IF Family,

I attempted to fly an Emirates 777-300ER from EGLL to OMDB on the Expert Server yesterday.

I had my fuel at 50% and all other settings as usual. Flaps were set to 5, and I chose Runway 9R for takeoff.

However, I encountered an issue with my takeoff speeds (V1, VR, V2). Despite having my trim set to 15%, I was unable to lift off—the aircraft overshot the runway.

On my second attempt, the plane pitched up unrealistically, resulting in an excessive vertical speed VS of over 6000. I tried again for the third time, and the same issue occurred.

At first, I thought my iPad 7th Gen might be getting old, or that I wasn’t controlling the aircraft properly. But when I tested the same scenario in Solo Mode, everything worked fine—the plane took off as expected.

However, when I switched back to the Expert Server, the issue reappeared, and the aircraft failed to take off again, overshooting the runway.

Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong?

Did you calibrate before you took off?

yup 1000% yes

infact i tried 3 times for the same reason because this was v unusual. That is there anything I am doing is wrong

This is nothing for 50% fuel honestly.

Refer to this for future reference

i sincerely followed this configuration.

So what could be the issue?

or i guess i should have used 15 flaps. yes?

Well load and fuel percentage are different. Did you have any passengers or cargo? Adding on the planes weight itself, the load is probably higher than 50%, let alone pax and cargo.

I imported the flight plan from SimBrief, and I know that passenger and cargo data automatically copy s over into Infinite Flight.

Yeah, so your total load was def over 50 lol. I’d recommend flaps 15.
