Wowh! This plane promises to become a masochist's dream! I have just broken off with first attempts to get this baby airborne (from a warm&running default state).

Here you see my first fail after I interrupted takeoff at Cologne when the engines blew off.





Here is my second attempt to get airborne, with the accent on "attempt".





And this is what my third attempt looked like, after the plane was through with me.





My excuse is there was thunderstorms and strong gusts from the left.

I now decided to get grounded and start to read that #§+%$"§ manual.

And I even have not tried to start the engines manually, but took the plane in a ready-to-fly state with running engines.

This is great stuff. I think I never - NEVER - have blown up engines before in any FS version, at least I cannot remember. Nor has it ever happened to me in any other flight simulation.

And the virtual cockpit looks very nice. The manual looks intimidating, though.
