some planes (all standard at the moment) jerk a hard right and goo off the runway, the planes I've notice do this are the extar 300s dehavaland comet and ryan nyp. If I try to stabalize them or steer tham toom much, they just flip over and crash, wtf? how do I fix this? I know if you gun the throtle on some planes it does this, but I very gadualy increase throtle on these planes.

I ussually use a little brakes  (F-11 key for left F-12 for right) to keep them centered, this happens to everyone I guess its realistic, not shure if it is at least to this extreme, because im not a real pilot... yet.

Thanks! I'll try that next time I'm flying!

push on the trotlle slower. dont bring it all the way at full in one shot. instead give it gradually. let him speed up a bit before pushing all the way. then your plane will have less torking.

it is due to the torking effect of the engine. they both turn in the same direction. and this cause the plane to turn. if you hold an electric engine in your hand and change the speed it is turning you will feel in your and that the engine want to turn in you hand side way. the easiest way. (olding it with the tums up and index down) this is the same thing with the plane. the easiest way to turn is not up or down cause of the ground. but side way there is less restriction.

I hope you see the picture i am tring to show you.

have fun.

try to imagine yourself in  the aircraft , gently apply power and very gently allow groundspeed to build up
at the same time looking out the left and right windows
as appropriate to gauge your position on the runway
to maintain that perfect straight takeoff roll.

Also in the tail-draggers make sure the tail wheel is locked this will help the out of control spin around and make it a little easier to keep from over correcting.

how do I lock the back wheel? and I have been doing the slowly speed up. it still does it.

How about's a little left rudder???

This works wonderful in a cross-wind as well..;-)
