Try taking off from the other end of the runway so you have to clear the trees, that's usually a bit harder  ;)

Oh, and the A380 should be slightly short-runway-proof, so don't use that one. Or at least fill it up. :P

I tried it with the A340-300 and here's how it went on takeoff  :P

It only had 5% fuel and no payload yet it still couldn't do it  :D

Short field takeoff - Hold the breaks and slowly increase the throttle until full, release the breaks and hold back on the yoke until the nose wheel lifts off, then the main gear, nose back down to gather speed then climb away.

Also try some more flap, you don't seem like you have much on at that.

Ok I tried the AN-225 because I couldn't get the A340 off the ground without hitting the fences, and it went much better.

Ok I tried using a few different planes vehicles.
First was the Hindenburg which just flew straight up...
(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t101/cameronpapps/2009-1-8_16-55-23-187.jpg)

Last was the German U-Boat, which strangely didn't move an inch  :lol: :roll:

Simviation

Again I'm not sure which section  :lol:
But I think it was either the Misc or Military sections.
I'll have a look now for you.

The U-Boat is a few pages back if you want it as well. It has a max speed of 11knts and can submerge up to it's periscope.
Quite fun to just set it on full speed, aim it open sea and leave it for a few hours to see where you get  ;)
I'm tempted to leave it on 4x speed when I go on holiday from the 10th-17th of January and see where I end up  :lol:

I also crashed it but the screenshot function doesn't work when you crash  :( If I'd known it didn't work I would have used the Print Screen key..
