On take off the Mosquito will not reach take-off speed. Accelerates to 70 mph, then stops accelerating. Never reaching take-off speed.  Problem started right after installing latest (todays) update.  I use no mods. 

I saw no changes to the mosquito in the update?

 

 

UPDATE:

I performed a BETA Repair. Now the Mosquito not only doesn't accelerate to take-off, the mph gage does not work at all. 

After two years, things have gone from bad to worse.

Game flight mode ON used to have similar symptoms back in the day. Maybe some of your game options got reset during the update?

Might be worth renaming Saved Games \ DCS temporarily as well. Repair command affects only root DCS folder, so doesn't seem to be enough in your case. 

i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

 Game Flight mode remains off. All other settings look the same.

The Mosquito works in quick mission in flight. But, not in take-off.

I tried some other aircraft and observed no problems. They all took off fine.

It's only the Mosquito. The mph gage doesn't work. The mosquito will not obtain enough airspeed to take off.  She taxi's OK. 

I checked the brakes. I see no problems. 

 

At 100% Full Throttle I can only get 12 mph while on the ground.

I’ve just been flying it on a MP server, so was someone else. I updated earlier too.

Trying from cold and dark on the Channel now for ya.

It’s fine here.

hope you get it sorted soon.

After a number of Beta repairs, it shorted itself out.  I have no idea why it did that.

It is possible that the tail wheel collapsed during taxi? Happened to me once - didn’t happen again, but I didn’t try to break the tail wheel on purpose for such a test.

... well, he could have said it!
