Problem with SkySpirit2011 747-8i

[giuliocatena]

I downloaded the SkySpirit 2011 747-8i but when I try to fly it it leans to one side and doesn't go fast enough to takeoff even without a payload.
WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!??

Flaps? read the manuals. It leaning though sounds like not all the engines are on.

Probably why it wont takeoff :P

[giuliocatena]

I always set the flaps and I tried applying full flaps too.
The aircraft leans when it's not moving too and I've already checked the engines

Coul dbe massively overweight? Check fuel and pax load.

Also sounds like one engine is not running. Visually check the throttle handles while you manually move them. Are they all moving in sync or does one not move at all.
If it's engine problems, I think you may lean/pull to one side also as you go down the runway and maybe are even heading for the grassy area. Do you have to fight the controls to keep it in a straight line roaring down the runway before the lift off ? Check those throttles.

Does it do this with all planes or just this one? (Is your stick calibrated?).
Do you have too much fuel or passengers on one side?
Is your AP on and trying to take off without enough airspeed while banking immediately after wheels up?
Do you have failures set and have lost hydraulics on one side?

That should narrow something down as far as trouble-shooting....

[giuliocatena]

I've checked the engine joystick payload amount of passengers everything. It's the only plane that does it and the wheels never come off the ground. I just don't fly it.

When I fly the 747-8I, it will not rotate on takeoff. It will move the elevator to full rotate position, and the aircraft dosent leave the ground. Any Sugguestions?

From Jomni's first link:

This questions is asked a lot about the SkySpirit2011 747-8i. The way to get it off the ground is to use a lot of trim. With enough trim, the aircraft with lift off the runway without any further input. Secondly, check the weight and make sure you are not over maximum take off weight. If you are, dump fuel and/or passengers until the aircraft weight is less than maximum takeoff weight.
Cheers!

From Jomni's second link:

...I've never used trim control until now, and apparently it is needed for the 747-8i to lift off the runway...

From Jomni:

Suggestion is to use lots of trim.
