Flaps
Now Whats Very important is Flaps the Flaps is what will help you to lift off and increase drag during landing but when your taking off you will need to set flaps if you dont then your gonna have a hard time rotating


The flaps i recommend are 20 but some people do it between 10 - 15

Next Step!
Seatbelts and No Smoking
This is Very important because if you havent put on the seatbelt sign then your passangers will fly out of there seats during takeoff which wont be good but anyways No Smoking is also important otherwise your passangers could die and the takeoff could end in a epic explosion
Centre Line Allingment
The Centre line is the line i the middle of the runway it is important you stay on it otherwise the wings or engines could hit objects like wind flags or Poles So its best to keep on the centreline

If you land you same must keep on the centre line
Thrust
Now that everythings set up, Your Cleared for takeoff and your checklist is complete you may now set off

*Pushes Thrusters to Full Power* WOAH WOAH WOAH Slow down there tiger!
If you want to get the plane into a smooth takeoff postion then you need to push the throttle from 30% - 50% and then slowly Push it to FULL POWER And Keep your hand on the throttle
V1
Now V1 Is Near Rotation Speed You cant abort the takeoff if you reach this speed

V1 In a 747 Is Around 130 - 150 Knots Thats when you can let go of the throttle and focus on your Centre Line
Rotate
Rotate is important you must get the right speed and make sure you dont get a tail strike
Slowly but Carefully lift the Yoke up and If the nose lifts off the ground stop there if it doesnt your done

Rotation speed is 155 - 160 knots

If your Off the Ground pull your Landing gear up by pressing G or using a Flight controller
(I Reccomend you do it at 300 ft)
Thank you

Thanks, I have been looking for a server to play on, just most lack playersl, if your going to play online you would think you would see other planes, otherwise you would just play offline
