Nope, don't have a problem with what if's. Anyone that doen't take the G4 to it's limits is missing out on a good time. I was just dissipointed that the realism of an actual tail dragger is not there. Try taking off with a Sopwith Camel sometime, or a Piper Cub, it gives a whole new meaning to a ground loop, I was just wondering if there was someone out there that could tell me if I was missing something with the G4 where I could find something to produce this effect.

It is way more than a toy.

Sorry that I can't point you to the internals that affect changes to the torque effects and such, but I have read posts that describe how to edit individual models to get some of those effects. That said, from my limited experience changing CGs and what it takes to increase/decrease surfaces' effects would lead me to suggest it won't be easy. Or very easy to describe.

I can easily understand why none of the sims have perfectly realistic takeoff problems built into the airplanes they offer. Maybe there is one somewhere, but as of right now, nobody had stepped forward and said what sim and which airplane has "realistic" takeoff or ground handling problems.
