Looks good. I've commited this to cvs. Thanks! > All the rear wheels looks kind of flat (they stick down through the runway > surface).

(Or is that normal for a 747 > take-off?) The animation should probably be checked on those. In the past things have moved up and down due to various tweaks in the fdm code, etc. But I think you could probably adjust the animation to match the compression fairly closely now. As far as the plane actually taking off with no elevator or flaps, that is certainly not normal for something as heavy as a 747. Maybe with light fuel, but still doubtful. Maybe Andy has an idea on this. It is unlikely that the two things you observed are related unless there is a large error weight distribution. Other times I've seen weight location problems in YASim configurations it seemed as though the aircraft would move around and even pop the nose way up (or down), which is not occuring here.
