I always release brakes and apply 50 or so percent thrust, until cleared for takeoff, then apply reheat.
This is with any aircraft.
I do so on the Tornado in WoE, and start to veer left, and I use my Saitek pedals to correct, >whack<, CTD.
The odd thing is, in my NATO Fighters install, I have absolutely no issues. I tried the graphics lines mentioned in the other thread, after extracting the
FlightEngine.ini from the FlightData.cat in both installs. No change to either. NATO-F still works well, and usually assigns an airfield strike.
I am unsure as to what the differences are between the installs, as NF is based on WoE.
