Pulling to the right

Every time the airplane starts to move on the ground, it pulls to the right, without I even tuch the pedals. It worked fine a few days ago, but now this has happend. It only happends on the ground, but not when Im in the air. Anyone know how to fix this? It sort of takes away all the joy of taxing... :(

The first thing I would sugggest is recalibrating the rudder pedals. I've never used separate pedals so don't know what's involved. You might also check that Auto-rudder is disabled from FS9 Realism settings.

I think it has something to do with Gyro Drift. Check settings and see howe much Gyro Drift is set. Otherwise It may be the joystick or yoke you are using,

it is not a settings thing, this will happen in any real airplane as soon as is starts accelerating down the runway. just keep light pedal pressure as you accelerate for takeoff :o

Dr._Who mentioned pulling to the right. Most prop aircraft will pull naturally to the left - in FS anyway. It depends on the aircraft type & prop rotation. Prop torque, P-factor & gyro effects should not affect jets.

i believe you have installed something to have caused this. I recently have been having this problem with certain aircraft all of which shouldnt pull to the left right or any other possible direction ::) check back through things you may have installed. Also try out the recallibration as others have suggested as these will be the most likely causes

I took away the peddals, and only used my Sidewinder Forcefeedback 2 pro.  Same problem. I only have 2 add-ons installed: Scandinavian Airports 1 and Eurowings Professional 2004.

Do you use real weather? If so then maybe its a slight Xwind which would cause the plane to turn into it, you must counteract this with a bit of rudder.

Nop, no other airplanes. Had to reinstall FS like a week ago.

I am also using rudder peddles and also have a drift on jet aircraft. In the real world a jet will drift slightly right or left this can be caused by several factors from uneaven taxiways to uneaven tire wear on the air craft. I for one think it is a realstic effect as a plane is going to drift one way or another due to all kinds of strange causes. I find that it only takes a small amount of correction to keep it on the center line. Prop air craft will drift in the direction of prop rotation depending as to what angle they are set at. Fixed props can not be adjusted so the faster they turn the more it will pull. 8)

Correction. They veer in the opposite direction to the prop rotation. ;)

I don't think this explains it. FS is not likely to take account of tyre wear or anything like that. From what Dr._Who says in his original question this has only just started happening. He doesn't say if it's with props, jets or all aircraft. Now it seems he's recently reinstalled the sim. If it's not caused by a crosswind I suspect it's more likely to be something to do with the Realism settings or the hardware.

I fixed it. I installed FSUIPC, and tweeked the joystick settings a little.   Thanks anyway guys!  ;D
