RH engine mixture lever is at cut off, hard to tell what position prop levers are at but throttles do not appear to be both in same position.

Re: Viscount take off problems

What sim?

A lot of flight models are b=very "light" on the nosewheel, try pushing full DOWN elevator to get weight on the nosewheel and see how that steers.
