Can't stay airborne after take-off

KelvinH

Can get airborne OK but shortly after take-off the aircraft just gradually descends to earth. Ages ago I had a tip on how to overcome this but I can't find it. Help please

KelvinH

even starting at 25K it just falls out the sky, might as well uninstall it. The manual is no help.

Hi,
Are you using too much throttle? It's a characteristic of the Vulcan that you can't just open the throttles in a cruise as it will start causing a nose-down in the aircraft.

What speed/Mach number is this occuring at?

KelvinH

Thank you both very much. I've been advised to throttle back to about 1/3 power after take-off which I wasn't doing. Also to adjust the trim with '7' and '1' (num lockoff) which doesn't seem to have any obvious effect. I've also loaded 'RAFVulcanUpgrade'. And have now managed a climb to a decent height. You have to work hard to keep the nose up though. I may return to my Jet Provost for a few circuits
