Has anyone here successfully got a Mossie off the floor while packing the 4000lb Cookie bomb?
I've tried numerous times on runways of various length and am really struggling. The closest I got to airborne so far was at full throttle, landing flaps down for as much lift as possible, and the entire length (plus a fraction more) of a good length concrete runway and I got about a billionth of a micron from the ground before I then dropped off the edge of the island and into a lake for a soft crash.
Is there something I'm missing? I've always thought of myself as an accomplished sim-pilot so this is frustrating me somewhat.
Cheers,
Rob.
