Problem with Connie v2.1

Thanks a lot for the fast answer. Unluckily it did not help.
I forgot to mention that I use the FS 2004.

I started with the Cessna, put everything up including the engine and then changed to the Connie. Applied Take Off power and needed the whole runway to hear the V2 message. Then I pulled up to climb with max of 200 ft/min at 130 KIAS with Flaps 80.
After climbing a while to gain altitude ( flaps had been released) about 4000 ft, I set the gear handle to neutral and pulled the Speed Brake. The same thing happened again. The Connie was speeding up.
Waiting until I got 170 KIAS, I retracted the gear again and the speed dropped to 140 KIAS. The engine was still at take off power.

Something is not working correct, but I have not found out up to now. Anny suggestion about the problem is welcome.

Thanks in advance

Based on a recent personal snafu with my control assignments let's make this simple again. If you are not getting performance close to the numbers on the reference sheets I suggest trying this to see if once again somewhere a gremlin has activated spoilers where we don't want them.

This is only step one in the process of elimination ...not the final fix !!

Open your aircraft.cfg file and find the following section ( it's longer than what I pasted in here...)

[airplane_geometry]
wing_area= 1850.000
wing_span= 150.000
wing_root_chord= 18.1 // M
wing_dihedral= 7.500
wing_incidence= 2.0 // was 2.3
wing_twist= -1.000
oswald_efficiency_factor= 0.700
....
....
....
steering
elevator_trim_limit= 19.0 //Beckert; was 20.5
spoiler_limit = 70.000
aileron_to_spoileron_gain = 0.000
spoiler_handle_available = 1 // HJN 0503
min_ailerons_for_spoilerons = 0.000
min_flaps_for_spoilerons = 0.000
spoilerons_available = 0
auto_spoiler_available=0
spoiler_extension_time=8.000000
positive_g_limit_flaps_up=4.068376
positive_g_limit_flaps_down=2.000000
negative_g_limit_flaps_up=-2.106838
negative_g_limit_flaps_down=-2.000000
aileron_area=11.300000

Change the bold section in your cfg to:

spoiler_limit = 0.001 // 70.000

And then test the Starliner again....if it performs better now in takeoff and climb the problem is definitely somewhere in a spoiler axis assignment.

It's you ...I am afraid. Ok not you but your FS setup. Either in the FS internal axis assignments or if you use FSUIPC in it's axis
assignments.

Something triggers the spoiler deflection when it should not be.
I actually had that myself recently when using a Starliner variant that I did not have a dedicated FSUIPC profile for.

Somehow FSUIPC had a spoiler axis assigned in the default profile and while the problem was not as drastic as in your case it ruined my testflights for the performance data on the 2.1 that I was collecting for the documentation.

I would go through both the FS assignments and clear any axis links to the spoilers.
And then repeat the process in FSUIPC. I normally create a aircraft specific profile for those that I use frequently ( must have one for each airline variation )
In FSUIPC click through the different axis pages until you see the spoiler tabs and then click the reset button which wil render that assignment inactive (should say not processed)

Then change your cfg file back to the original value and try again.

Thanks to all trying to help me with my problem.

Hopefully tonight I will be able to give it a try and use your informations to clear the problem.
I will update as soon this is done.

Thanks again
