What is wrong with DC3 takeoff ? How to fix and tailwheel lock unlock

I have spent several hours trying to fly the DC3 and I have give up. If a real DC3 was this hard to take off and land then there would be none left as they would all have crashed and burned long ago.
I am no beginner at flight sims and used to fly a real light aircraft.

Go read up on the DC-3. If you treat it like a modern plane you will crash and burn.

I’ve been flying this baby all over and it’s great imo.

Those large wings and ground effect will make her want to lift off way too early. Push forward on the yoke (quite a bit) and keep her on the ground until 97mph, then rotate. Below that speed she’ll be unstable as anything.
