I know this has been posted somewhere, but I was wondering... all of my airplanes in FS02 and 04 drift on taxi and takeoff... If I don't TRY to correct it, they just spin around in circles... It is a severe problem. Please help me.
TIA

Does this only occur when flying Props? If so, then it's most likely due to their Left-Turning Tendency (I'll save you the lecture as to what causes this), in which case it takes right rudder input to correct. This correction must be applied in real life. If you don't want to deal with this, just turn down your P-Factor setting and/or your Realism settings. You can also turn ON the Auto-Rudder setting, as this will help a lot. If this is occuring while flying jets, it could be anything from crosswind to your joystick calibration, etc. Just to be sure, I'd recheck joystick calibration, too. Hope this helps!

If this happens with a twin engine airplane than make sure both engines are running & that when you move the throttle both move together. If only one engine throttles up then it will pull towards that engine. I have seen this happen. It is best to check with the engines off that way you do not have to worry about moving.
