Is the takeoff roll supposed to be this long in 4.33?
-
Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but it seems an F16 in full afterburner takeoff, under maximum takeoff weight, uses almost all of Seosan’s 9,000 feet.
Did something change?
Maybe I just need to rotate more aggressively? Still adjusting to 4.33. Or maybe the simulated runway is something less than 9,000 feet? Or then again maybe nothing has changed and it’s all in my head…

What is your weight and when are you rotating?
-
make sure you breaks aren’t pressed if using rudder peddals.
I acceidently forgot got to mark them as reversed. This caused me to use all the runway and the aircraft not able to rotate even with full aft stick -
Weight is a couple thousand pounds below max. I’m rotating around 180kts.
My pedals works properly, or I wouldn’t have made it as far as the runway.

A small video to check?
-
How much showed the FFI? Maybe you were’nt in full AB. Could be a porked calibration of the throttle …

Seems to me like if you are that heavy, and rotating that fast, that you probably should be using that much runway.

Assuming takeoff factor ~2.5 (AB, reasonable temperature) and a fat drag index…. yeah about 9,000’ takeoff distance. Headwind/tailwind could make quite a bit of difference as well.

Keep in mind that 02R/20L in Seosan/Haemi is shorter than 02L/20R. Instead of (the usual) 9000ft you only have 7500 or so ft to get your butt of the ground (or back down).
With the standard DEAD layout, I’ve managed a takeoff without AB on the shorter runway - with a correspondingly low safety margin.
