ATARIeric Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Blue Max by synapse is killing me over and over on the runway!!!! i took off once last week, but since then, i cant figure out for the life of me from being able to simply taxi off the runway without blowing myself up, i knew i liked 2001 much better, and now i remember why someone please save me, i wanna fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 2 solutions: Pull the joytsick the other way -- you're diving rather than climbing! OR Get up to speed before pulling back -- you're take off speed is too slow! sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIeric Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 easier said than done, im no longer gonna rack my brains with that tonight, i think its hilarious that this could get under my skin, earlier i went for a walk and during my walk i started thinking about it with confidence and thought i bet if i go home and use my other stick , or just try pushing the controller to theright when i get speed it would work, nope, ive done it all, im not quiting, just pacing myself ATARI kicks my ass eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylama Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 IIRC, 100 MPH is the minimum safe takeoff speed. As you start to taxi, you should notice your speed indicator increase, then change color when it is safe to lift off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjlazah Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 LOL. I remember having that problem back in 1985. Just push up on the stick when the plane is almost at the end of the runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I usually forget to switch the controls to reverse in the options screen before playing. So I crash the first time I try to take off. Nothing funnier than forgeting how to play a game you've been playing for over 20 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Yeah... always reverse the controls... much easier to play that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
