Note: In real life, if you retract flaps just after takeoff, aircraft will stall out..

Well done, I now fly X-Plane therefore this isnt relevant to me but i still remember my flightgear roots ;P

Just to let you know, I agree that heavy jets shouldnt take off on short runways but in that part of the video, you had lined up the aircraft after the temporary displaced threshold area (the arrowed part at the beginning of the runway), now you should not land on that part of the runway but it is okay for takeoff and taxi :)

@guesswhat6789 yeah, it's risky but possible to take off from a short runway using a large jet. However, a long runway is more suitable for it. Just make sure you get permission from the ATC when you're onlin., ;)
