Mission 04 - Takeoff from Dublin

[Mistermann]

Okay - getting frustrated.  

Spoiler

I am able to transport the cargo to London.  I then perform the forward observer role - love it!  Finally I get tasked to Dublin.  Fly there and land.  They load up the body bags and my Huey just won't takeoff.  Not sure if this is an intentional design choice by @Reflected to force us into using emergency power.  Even then, I can't get airborne.

I am taking off into the wind (based on smoke) and just can't clear the Fire Support Base.  Is there some sort of "trick" to this?  I watched @lankypilot77 excellent replay and never noticed him struggle leaving Dublin.  

I hate re-doing this mission (already attempted it 6 times due to other failures on my part).  The framerate on this mission is extremely low on VR and the entire first 10 minutes are a slideshow - seems like there might need some Anderson optimization from ED.  Most of the time my framerate is just fine. 

I will probably just skip this and continue on, but am wondering when this situation will bite me again. 

Any suggestions for when I eventually go back and run mission 4?

Thanks!

Not sure why, the body bags don't weigh all that much...perhaps you damaged your engine before? Either the 50 cal hit you over the outpost or you redlined the engine while slingloading?

Thanks!  I will make a note on that, Reflected.  Appreciate the response.  I could have been damaged I suppose.  That would make sense.
