Hi Nolan,

Here's the best way I've found to take off. It works for me every time unless I make a mistake.
1. Go ahead and extend your flaps while you're turning on all your other systems (radio, transponder, pressure, etc).
2. When you hear the beep for the runway you are supposed to use, turn toward it using ctrl+left arrow if the beep is coming from your left side or ctrl+right arrow if it is coming from your right. At this point, I personally like to be going around 20 miles per hour (32 kilometers per hour).
3. You can check your direction by pressing s. If you're using the original sounds, you will hear a ding and you will be told to contact the tower for takeoff clearance once you're facing down the runway.
4. If you want to be extra safe, stop your plane while you get ready to take off. Then, press f to get the tower frequency and enter it by pressing alt+f. After that, press F1 until you are told that you are clear to take off. This usually takes several tries.
5. You can check your current takeoff speed by pressing ctrl+enter. You can then press c until you hear current takeoff speed. Once you are given the all clear to take off, begin speeding up by pressing alt+home. This will make you speed up automatically without having to hold down the home key.
6. Once you start getting close to your current takeoff speed, begin raising the nose of your plane by pressing the down arrow. I prefer an angle of 15, but you shouldn't have any trouble as long as you're close.
7. When you leave the ground, you will hear a constant wind sound. The instant you hear the wind sound, stop yourself from continuing to speed up by pressing the delete key on the main keyboard (not the one on the numpad). Then, start checking your height by pressing z. At around height 5, press ctrl+f to retract your flaps. Around height 10, press ctrl+g to raise your landing gear.
8. Raising your landing gear will cause your pllane to speed up, so begin holding down the end key to slow down. Keep checking your speed with r until you're at your current takeoff speed. Not doing this will cause you to crash.
9. If you're in a category 1 plane, raising the landing gear will speed you up 12 MPH (20 kPH). If you're in a cat 2, it will speed you up 18 MPH (30 Kph). If you're in a cat 3, it will speed you up 24 MPH (40 KPH).
10. Finally, if you are flying a cat 1, continue monitoring your height until you get to 500 meters, then reduce the angle of your nose to 0. If flying a cat 2 or 3, you can make this happen automatically by pressing alt+z and entering the height you want to go to.

I hope this has been helpful. I know it sounds really complicated, but it just takes practice. If you are still  having trouble, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Ironcross pretty much mentioned the reason I stopped playing this game a while ago. You also crash for stupid reasons, it's like everything is all scripted. Is it a fun game? Sure. However it's far from being a flight sim.

First of all, I agree completely with posts 3 and 4. As a flight sim, it's not realistic at all. However, it's still a fun game to play IMO.

@5: If you're assigned to a runway, you want to turn until the beep is in front of you. If you travel far enough while turning, the beep may disappear. This means you are on the runway. At this point, you are facing down the runway you need to use to take off. You don't want to turn any more after that or you will be off track and will most likely crash.

Going by your example, if you are going north and hear your assigned runway to your east, turn east. After that, stay facing east until you're in the air and are ready to set your course toward your destination. The A1-A3 runways work the same way. The only difference is that you have to turn when you hear A or B, then just go straight and wait until you hear  your assigned runway. At that point, just perform the same steps listed above.

Who says we can't play it. I've completed at least some of the tasks, but there is no enjoyment because almost every area of the flight model is incorrect in some way or other. Also, I'm not sure why you felt the need to snap at us a month after the last post.

@7, just because you are blind does in no way mean that the laws of the universe do not apply to you. Just because you are blind doesn't mean that, when you call something a flight simulator, you shouldn't do your best to use the physics engines available to you, the information on how aircraft work, and the mathematics to generate the appropriate physics to make it feel realistic and interesting.

I wrote up this huge topic about all the differences in one of the topics regarding the version 2.0 release. Suffice it to say though, quite a great deal. Flight sims don't have such linear logic to suggest that if you don't have each of these things done in this order at this time, boom, you're dead. You crash in a flight sim if you'd crash in real life. You don't just crash because the game says you do. Not only that, the flight model is basically non-existent in Eurofly. I'm not going to re-write that post, because that was a tyme sync I don't want to repeat, but the differences are vast.

@nolan: thank you for playing Eurofly.
It's true that game mechanics may seem bit complicated for first time. Sadly there probably isn't other way than trying, there are resources on:
http://eurofly.stefankiss.sk/modules.ph … Helpcenter
which can help you.

to clarify what means Eurofly is a flight simulator. What's unique on Eurofly is, how it handles its world map. While many games use a simple 2D map to move around, this approach is very inaccurate when you want to work with spheroid like Earth is. Thus Eurofly uses special mathematical formulas to calculate realistic movement on 3D object rather than flattened 2D plane. That's why it's called flight simulator, it simulates a plane flying on Earth, so you travel on the same track like real plane would.
now if this is what you want, then Eurofly looks like a good option for you.
If you are looking for a realistic physical simulation of plane, then Eurofly probably wouldn't suit your needs.

Also another note on this topic, there are many blind people out there, who claims themselves to be super aviation experts. I don't know what and where they have studied. But one thing I am sure about is, that none of this guys has ever piloted a plane.
And it's for a reason. Basically, if you make 100% realistic simulation, with plane physics, airport traffic etc. then you most likely wouldn't even be able to take off, neither land or wait near airports to land. it isn't pleasant to hear, but it's a fact. Our ears are too weak when compared with sight, I was sighted for about 11 years, so i know what I'm talking about.

Now, to be more optimistic, there are approaches, which for example help you in critical parts of flight, and let you controll those parts where sight isn't that important. You can search for them if you want a near realistic simulation.
so, why don't we introduce those assistive technologies as well?
Answer is simple, to keep it all simple. Omitting fact that coding realistic flight simulator is extremely hard, what you can see exactly on those aviation experts, who have presented nothing at all, even when they have few people who claim themselves as experienced programmers, it would be too hard for average player to learn it. many have had problems in this version already, I can't imagine our contact channels if we introduced a fully realistic flight simulator.
there are few people who want it, we're okay with it, but there are thousands others who don't. Features like the ability to go backward, was requested by users. We are trying to make some compromises to improve realisticity, but there are limits.

Having that said, you should now be able to decide if it's worth for you to continue with Eurofly or not. if you are interested in world's geography, then I strongly recommend it.
if you want a realistic simulator and the map isn't important for you, then it would probably be better for you to look for another simulator.

Anyway I wish you good luck and fun.:)

best regards
