Any tips for taking off?

[Henkka]

I managed to get my plane up to air few time but mostly i ended driving on the ground so any tips how the trick should be done?

Also when i try to pull my plane up the stall piiper start yelling immidiately ... doing something wrong or do i have to fix my stick settings some how?

Henka,
I could explain it all to you and wouldnt mind, but the FAQ's have a good discussion on the subject. Mainly, dont advance throttle too fast, add right rudder on take-off and a notch of flaps to help steady it. Let it get some speed built up before gently pulling on stick to gain alt. retract flaps and gear and keep going to gain more speed before trying to pull too hard on stick.
Hope this helps.

Also look at your compass.  If you can keep around the same heading on the compass until you get over 80 knots and the tailwheel lifts, you'll be able to take off just fine.

Henkka if you haven't done already try calibrating your joystick/pedals using the in-game setup.

In the alpha I was stuck on the ground doing circular ploughing until I did.

From your clipboard go Setup/Joystick/Calibrate
