I got online last night.. Was able to start the engine.. Was able to taxi out to the runway.. But wow.. Three trys Three FAILS to get off the ground! I think my problem is I don't know how to lock the tail wheel? Once she gets a little side motion going I try to correct and induce one hell of a PIO and wammo.. This game makes me feel like a NOOB! ;)

I found out the same way, it seems you really need to keep the stick back on its stops untill about 100mph then you can ease off, by then the AC will be lifting off so be carefull not to stall, also 5-6 degrees right rudder trim but be prepared to bias some left pedal on the roll, smoothly go to full power....do not slam it open, works for me 100% now.

I recall reading somewhere that holding the stick back on some planes does lock the tail wheel.. I wonder if that is what goes on here?

correct. hold it back till 100 mph then if requiring 2 wheel take off (tail rising) allow tail to rise naturally and apply rudder, if requiring 3 wheel take off, keep applying back presure.

Do the training for take-off once, it is a big help.

Finally!

I figured out why she was swaying too and froo.. My dam wheel breaks are not realising all the way.. I used the KB W key and that did the trick.. Guess Ill need to figure out how to filter my slider rudder breaks?

I think its Right Control + SHift to show a controls display, might be helpful for you till you get it all worked out, been helpful for me...
