172 takeoff issues

I think the extreme friction issue happens on all grass or dirt runways in FSX, as far as I can see.

So I don't think it's specifically Orbx fields; just that most of theirs aren't paved runways.

I just tried to taxi at PacSim's PNG Bush Pilot airfields, and had the same issue; nothing less than full power is required to get rolling.

On paved runways (whatever the proper surface name is!), the aircraft pulls off with what seems like realistic power.
