We all are the gaming crowd.

THIS IS NO GAME!  THIS IS REAAL!

[B-17]

I don't see anyone using more than 25% fuel so as Greebo said it should not be a problem, if someone really wants to take 100% fuel and full ord I bet they can find another 600ft of grass or just throw it off the cliff.

Funny thing is... its true. fina another 600 ft of grass? lol

ya i know that, nice lil chart there

no i dont know the nice little chart i have no clue what your talking about... what about it?

Just did a test, alt 0.1, fuel 50%, loadout 40/500lbs
using auto takeoff, full takeoff power, needed about 800 feet before wheels up
was fun to watch from f3 lookiing down on the plane.
wonder how much with a 100 % fuel load, will be testing later.

edit: update, add about 2000 more feet of runway with full fuel and 40/500 lbs

Looking forward to air spawns in late war.

The longer diagonal runways in MA airfields are about 7,400 ft long. The B-29 needed 8,000 ft to get off at sea level when fully loaded. A higher alt field would need a longer take off run. So HTC will either have to create a runway extension for at least a few fields in each terrain or limit the maximum fuel loads it can carry in the MA. The latter shouldn't be too much of a problem, I can't see why anyone would need more than 50% fuel in a B-29 for the MA.

Yep, I've found out in the practice arena at the large AF's you tend to run out of RW on ATO.

What i found as the best way, is to hold the brakes and throttle up with WEP, then release the brakes. once you get it to the skid marks on the other end of the runway gently pull back on the stick and up it slowly. if you practice it enough then you will have no problem getting it up and over the trees. practice it with one B-29 for a bit till your comfortable, then try a formation.

Has anyone tried an airspawn in a B29 in the TA yet?  Can you get the thing flying before the wings rip off?

Off line I did, on the second try.

50% fuel, 80 100pound bombs, I think.
