Hurricane slow in take off run

Check your mixture too - its the opposite in the hurri than in the spit.

Which it shouldn't be

I'm surprised this error has been overlooked by 1C for so long - it should be easy enough to correct.

Two books* by BoB Spitfire pilots I've been reading lately confirm this: pull back for Full Rich and push forward for Full Lean (or Full "Weak" as Brian Lane calls it). At least the Hurri in CoD got it right!

*"First Light" by Geoffrey Wellum and "Spitfire!" by Brian Lane

Not to mention the Pilot's Notes for Spitfires.........

I had the same problem in a 109. I used to be able to take off, but now I could barely move. Full throttle, full rich mixture, perfect temperatures, prop fully fine.

But even without this, I think it takes way too long for planes to accelerate, it's totally unplausible. I've flown almost every sim that had a spitfire or a 109, and they all had about the same acceleration. (including il2), then there came CloD...

Something seems to be awfully wrong with the whole FM engine, especially when it comes to takeoffs, landing as and ground handlings.

I blame it on the drag from the grass. Try taking of from a concrete strip and it feels more normal.

Get your point, Uther. He's airborne twice as fast as I've ever managed with headon wind and incoming bombers.
