Ashling, In your world, planes always fly After V1, only the firelight goes on in the sim, so that should apply to the real world right? As someone who takes guys up in thier own jets and does real world V1 cuts, I can tell you that I am on the look out for that fuel problem, TR deployment, birdstrike, or some idiot on a crossing runway, that might force me to stop, accelerate, whatever to get out of his way...I could sit here and give example after example, after example of how your day will be screwed up adhering to a one fix solution to handle a world of possibilities. If you believe for example, that you can fly out with two TRs deployed right after V1 like another guy did, you will end up like him. RIP

There is a serious 'let's stick out heads in the sand' mentality in here that shouldn't be in the cockpit of any plane, much less an airliner..

I am starting to think that by being in here, my IQ is dropping...

Mutt: Gear up, V2 untill 1500 ft or clear of all obsticles.(second seg)..then V2+10, flaps up...off we go...
