King Air in 2024 - Apparently fake tail strike cases plane to crash upon takeoff
-
Hi everyone
To anyone who's managed to get the King Air to work in 2024, are you getting this too?
Upon take off, just as I am rotating, I get "You crashed" message and I'm taken back to the parking slot. I usually just taxi over to the runway again and do it all over. I think it's some sort of "fake" tail strike or something, but it is really weird. I take off as shallow as I can and sometims this work but if I rotate at anything over 10 degrees, I almost ALWAYS get the "You crashed" message. Needless to say, in 2020 I take off in the exact same manner and have never crashed.
Anybody else?

This happens so much with so many different things (not just imported BSQ aircraft for what it's worth) in 2024 I just leave collision off. The common denominator for me was "various 3rd party scenery": in my case most often it would happen turning off of runway 35 at twy A at Tacoma Narrows (TIW). I have the Orbx scenery for it and there is just some seam or misalignment in various parts of the field that cause this, whatever it is is invisible to me.
I've also seen it at Anacortes taking off south, multiple planes, same thing: you crashed! I also have a 3rd party scenery there, too. I thought I was doing something wrong til I disabled collision and magically everything is fine. No random bumps in the physics, just smooth sailing.
If I had to guess, that may be your issue: if you haven't, try another field with just the basic 2024 scenery and maybe as flat a runway as you can find. Failing that, disable collision, though I can understand not wanting to.
