Aircraft refuses to take off

(Edited by EHM-0654 Murray; subject was "Aircraft refuse to take off and just go straight in to the woods... tried to lift off 4 times and same resault")

I start with breaks on, full throttle and flaps down and still the plane goes all the way to the end of the runway and crash and nothing I can do about it. AP is off, all is off, no A/T or ALT/HDG on... V/S... nothing, and still the plane just hugs the ground and crash... any idé why? Could it be winds, I mean no matter the wind a jet powered not too big airplane should lift off, I noticed some crosswinds or something but still I should get a lift right, I got to liek 120 kts and no lift at all... just crashes... its getting frustrating. I would like to see the orginial aircrafts as part of the lineup because these freewares works great when it pleases them... and at random just seem to make both the simulator crash and crash them selfs and what not... And I dont have any addons except the EHM planes and lots of trubble anyway... I was gonna fly back from BIRK to ESSA now and no luck.

Stefan,
what airplane? did you check the CG position?
what the lenght of rwy was? what the altitude of the rwy was?
what the takeoff weight of the airplane was?

EHM-0441 Stefan:
Runway is 4768 ft long.
Aircraft: Bombardier Challanger 850
Well, it got 80% fuel.
Gross weight: 48855 pounds.

Hell, its a powerful aircraft, not very big either, that runway shouldnt be a problem right? :O I've had larger planes lifting off smaller airfields I'm sure of it... not that I check such things that often but it doesnt appear very small to me..  :D hum.. I checked to compare, runway 26 wich I've been lifting off from at ESSA (arlanda) is almost twice as long.. maybe its that simple, its too short, but damnit shoudling 110 kts be enough for liftoff? :O I could get the Emberer 170 to stay steadily at 115 kts so why shouldnt this plane be able to take off at 110.. :O

It doesnt say on the info of the plane whats required either. But well I guess its too short. But just for the hell of it I'm gonna try with a larger plane and damnit if I get it off the ground! :D

EHM-0441 Stefan:
The emberer 170 got off the group almost fully loaded, just 2k pounds away from fully loaded. And I had a good bit left of runway and made it with no problem at all on that runway!

Look here for your self:

At the end I use the spoiler and just then it start to magicaly lift of when it should be pushed down. Something is odd... :| At that point I wouldnt make it anyway since it wouldnt budge off the ground more then that little tiny bit you see at the end...

Note that I did fly this bird all the way from ESSA(Sweden, stockholm) to BIRK(Iceland, reykjavik) and not much trubble at all. Abit hard to find all the switches and get going but once that was done I had a pretty nice flight, even managed to land the d**n thing.. :P

EHM-1749 Hector:
Hi Stefan,
it is maybe my visual, but in the video I didn't observe the flaps setting. It seems that the flaps were not set.
I recreated your takeoff from the same runway 13 at BIRK with the wind 090/08, 20 degrees or 2 notches of flap, TOW 48880 lbs, trim set at 4 and could take off in several occasions after reaching 128 kts. It was very close to the end of the runway and I thought I could hit the building but could clear it.
I recorded a video but for some reason FS did not keep it. When I tried to play it, FS crashed to the desk. Sorry about it.
