Not professional of flying I have some troubles with the EC-135 which is overloaded in fuel. After managing the fuel to 50% for example I am lower than the limit, but even in 10,000ft runway it is so difficult to take off, aircraft is so heavy and limit of stall during take-off. Maybe I missed something... Sorry for my english I am french  |

BONJOUR .... All HJG aircraft load into FS with 100% payload and fuel .... which results in varying overloads (according to aircraft type) of some proportion. The end user is then expected to reduce either payload .... or fuel .... or both .... in order to set each aircraft type at, or around, its precise MGTOW .... which, I feel, is better than having any simulation load into FS well underweight specifications like a lot of them do tend to do. Precisely which version of the EC135 are you using ?We have several here. If you'll get back to me regarding the actual aircraft version you're using I'll work our a precise fuel loading/downloading for you ..... in order for you to then be able to set the aircraft you're using at its MGTOw .... with a loading that's much better/higher than 50% .... I'm sure ! Beyond this .... and handling wise .... Garry is quite right .... in that you should be setting a few degrees of Elevator Trim prior to accelerating for T/O. You should also be using "MAXIMUM POWER" for T/O .... and have FLAP 30 set for T/O if flying heavy. That might seem to be a large amount of T/O flap, but, the military C135's are often flown "quite heavy" .... and FLAP 30 is apparently not an uncommon T/O setting among some of these aircraft .... and also in respexct of the early civil B707-120/B and B707-138/B series aircraft too.
