run takeoff [straight] [vertical] <num>


run takeoff assumes, that your aircraft is placed on a runway. 

It will search for this runway in the airac and create virtual GPS coordinates for the departure. 


In fixed wing aircraft the command will:


set lights

set flaps to position 1

set speed to takeoffspeed as defined in the aircraft library

set initial altitude

set initial climb rate

tune in the first GPS target _1

wait until a certain speed is reached

operate the elevator ("pull") for lifting off the runway

switch on the vertical autopilot as soon as groundcontact is lost

retract gear at a certain altitude

retract flaps at a certain altitude

switches to current heading and presses the HDG button

 

In helicopters the command will:


set lights

set speed to 10 knots

set initial altitude

set initial climb rate

tune in the first GPS target _1

switch on the vertical autopilot

wait until lift off

wait until 10 knots are reached

accelerate to 30 and 60 knots

retract gear if present at a certain altitude

switch to current heading and presses the HDG button

 

 

<straight>


Here the virtual GPS targets are created using the current heading of the aircraft, not taking into account any runway. 


Use this for a takeoff in the wilderness. 


<vertical>


To be used for helicopters only. 

The takeoff will be performed almost straight vertical with only a minimal forward motion. 


<num>


Will takeoff to a <num> feet altitude
