Can paint Saab 340 but cant fly it!

[amo63]

Help Please,

I apologise if this has appeared before.

 

I love painting the Saab 340 but I am having problems getting it off the ground to take pics of my liveries.

 

Have gone through the quick setup, pull back on my joystick - get to about 500 feet then the master caution light comes on and I Plunge into the scenery. ( This is the only aircraft I can't fly  properly in X-plane).

 

Would really like to take screenshots from all over the world but can only take them on the ground.

 

Any help welcome.

This really sounds like a lack of reading the manual.

Be sure you don't move those power levers above 76%.

Hello Allan,

 

try to play with the condition levers. That's very important. Have a look into the manual.

 

And ... the Saab 340 A haven't powerful engines. Full packed or full tanked, on airports at higher levels you get really problems to take off. The B got better and more powerful machines, but we have the A - .

 

And ... your paints are really good.

 

Best greetings

Ahhhh......Yes it takes a while to get it off the ground.

For making screenshots in the air you don`t need to take-off.

After starting the engines just slew the aircraft to the desired  flight-level and position. ( its a functionality in the MAP )

Have tried that Leen, but then it goes to cold engines and cant restart props as they r still turning 2 fast.

 

Manage to get the Crossair over the alps though.
