Thomas Ruth AN-124

Hi Guys

I have the flyable version of this for FS9. It seems to want to stall even on AP.

Also its unable to take off when flown manually. Basically I'm wondering if there is a problem with the FDE. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Any fde can be improved to improve flying characteristics. The question is should it be. Maybe it is a very difficult aircraft to fly, like the U-2 and SR-71 for instance.
Do you have any instructions?

One thing that will amend the handling for any flyable aircraft is the weight. Have a look at the real world weight limits. There are several aircraft that can't carry a full fuel load if they have max weight in cargo for instance. I think that the An-225 and An-124 are examples of those. It maybe that you will need to amend the cargo or fuel load in game.

***UPDATE***
Just found the model and in the readme :-
the aircraft has a maximum take off weight of 402 metrical tons.
you cannot takeoff with full tanks AND full cargo load of 150 tons.
Does this help?

Just tried it with less fuel and cargo, flies manually quite nicely.
