As much as I like CLoD. With the Tempter control on, the planes are wack.

On another flight forum this was said. And it's hard to say a pilot that flew the plane is wrong.

Problem with Blenheim and other bombers.

"I am having real problems getting the Blenheim to take off properly. Firstly it starts turning as it sits on the runway before you even start the engines. Brakes stop it but you don't seem to be able to keep the brakes applied.

Engines start okay but the aircraft always swings violently to starboard and no amount of left rudder and rudder trim will correct it. Using brakes helps but slows down your take off. I have tried varient power on the engines. This again helps but it becomes very tricky when the aircraft rotates. Also the lock tail wheel does not even seem to work.

I have spoken to an ex-Blenheim pilot who told me the Blenheim was not difficult to take off and did not suffer from an bad yaw tendencies (Unlike the Beaufighter). I have to conclude the Blenheim in CoD s badly modelled. The last patch did nothing to improve it."

I'v gotten to where I can take off in the Blenheim. But not with the Tempter control on.

I'm going to keep trying to take off with the tempter controls on. It my be the whay I'm doing things but it should not be this hard .
