Default Gentle take-offs at high speed

I sure hope you're talking about a "game" or PC sim Baron.
In the real world, there is no way in hell to keep a Baron
on the ground at 100 knots. They want to fly. Fifty years
ago, the manual said you lifted off in 600 feet at 60 mph.
That was well below Vmc and if an engine died, so did you.


I remember the day Beech sent out a new revision for our King Air A90. All
it did was remove the short field takeoff section. Just as you suggest for
the Baron.
