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.
Have you got rudder separate from ailerons? if not that will be another issue

Re: Trident optimum cruise altitude?
M0.88 is definitely a bit fast, .85 to .86 is good though.

Re: Trident optimum cruise altitude?
I did a jump seat trip from LHR to GLA long ago, the crew were type rated on T1, T2 and T3.
They were flying a T1E, (T1 body with T3 engines) it was so different that they had the books out on their laps checking up everything.
