Apply power slower instead of firewalling the damn thing. :)

What?! Freakin pansies!

Seriously though, it's pretty docile on a manual takeoff, even with a keyboard or twisty stick, just find it odd that it's squirrely on auto.

Amazes me that anyone would use auto-takeoff. <shrug>

Exactly.......after 15 years I realized I really do know how to take off manually. So now I let the machine handle. Take over c0-pilot. I need some coffee. Now I suppose I'm bad if I use the auto-landing feature too? pffft   :noid

I just find it sort of ironic all the work that goes into making the flying experience as real as possible......then letting the computer do the take off. So shoot me.  :devil

Take a 2 quart Rubbermaid container, fill it with 12 oz of Jose' Cuervo, 1 cup of fresh lime juice and 1 cup of Cointreau. Top with crushed ice and by the time you're at 3K, you're ready for a tasty adult beverage. Oh yeah, don;t forget the Kosher salt and a Martini glass.  :lol
I prefer mine without the salt :aok

The computer still does most of the work for you anyway. Think of all the procedures you dont have to go through to take off even in manual takeoff mode.

If I had it my way it would be even more realistic.
Carriers would have to turn into the wind to launch planes.
And there would be variable from moderate to severe cross winds even at runway level.
