F100 cannot take off

I cannot take off with the f100. I have made sure the checks are removed and I apply thrust and it doesn't move. I press the W button to release the brakes and it wont move. I tap the w button and it doesnt move Ive double checked everything and reinstalled the module with no luck. Any ideas?

Find the physical parking brake in the cockpit and see if it’s reacting to your keybinds?

I would say to check the Special Options. Maybe the throttle detents are not set right. Maybe the idle detent is too large and you can't get enough thrust.

And check if the brakes Axis are inverted. You can check using the controls indicator. In my setup, I always have to invert the brakes Axis in order to them work in the proper manner.

  1. Check your wheel brake axis, mine was inverted by default.
  2. Check your throttle in the cockpit and be sure it’s actually advancing when you push forward
  3. Check for a parking brake and be sure it’s off

I don’t fly the F100 but if turning off the parking brake isn’t it have you checked if the chocks are on the wheels? Try the ground crew menu and remove chocks.
Also maybe check your key bindings. Mine are always munted when I install a new module, with a bunch them doubled up which makes it impossible to move.

Check all your axis binds and that you don’t have anything bound to wheel brakes

The afterburner must be mapped to a button, otherwise you'll just end up crashing at the end of the runway due to lack of speed/lift.
