Here are screenshots of taking off from Henderson in a Fully Loaded B-24
Hard settings, full Fuel Load..."Unlimited Ammo" adds the same weight as 100% ammo load..

As I have it set for unlimited ammo on this take off.. Loaded with 4-2000 lb bombs

I haven't had any problems getting up in Loaded bombers using the method as outlined in the previous post on the subject..
Enjoy all..

Check the settings as she flys..
I lift off Flaps 25% (only when I hit the take off speed 120 mph, NOT Before this speed.. Then Raise the flaps as soon as I clear the ground..)

I even did a near stall pull up(steep) to show you can fly this bird well doing it this way..

Picture number two on the left to right seems a bit too close for Comfort!

I almost crashed my B-24 and had to perform several aborted takeoffs before I got it right. Personally, I think she gets airborne well without flap increments at all.

She also carries that nasty load of 8 1000lbs bombs. That bomber would really mess up the Fuhrer's day.
