Turning Probs

Alright, I am SURE this is not a joystick problem. Yet whenever I try to go straight it always seems to want to go right. I cannot ever go straight. I can use the joystick to try and go straight yet always wants to to right. **Ground problem not air **

Many planes do that due to the torque of the engine/prop.

Is this all planes, or just one.  ?     I have heaps of downloaded planes and can't think of any that this is a real problem in.

All my aircraft do that unless, I center the rudder trim, turn off all weather (winds), and unassign the rudder from my pedals (I just can't get them centered perfectly).

You could try increasing the Null Zone for your rudder?

I have had this before, one of the engines is not running and so the engine that is pushes the plane left or right

:)Hi Gang, As a pro HAHA with turning problems with my Mooney I`ve found that the CG (weight and balance) can have a big effect on right and left turning problems. Also, when I install real weather into a flight it seems to affect directional control on just about all flights, not just a X-wind at your departure airport. Just trying different settings to get the best settings for a aircraft. Seems like expermetation is the name of the game as I`ve read many times before in the forums. Stay Safe, Ray
