airplane veering to the right

[Bruce]

top of the day to all. I just developed a problem and dont know why or how to fix it. I have had flight sim since 98 up on till now 2004 but never had this problem. of lately while taxing the plane tends to veer to the RIGHT hard and this is on all types jets and props. How do i fix this. Thanks for any help.

First thing that comes to mind... do you have a joystick with rudder?  if so you may need to re calibrate it or adjust the dead zone    not totally shure  other then that i dont know

When that happens pause your flight and using the tabs at the top of the screen, calibrate your joystick. I am almost positive you will find the axis that controls you nosewheel and rudder is way to the right. I had the same problem with a twist grip style of joystick and had to replace it.

Hope this Helps

If all of the above fail.....

First load the default Cessna 172 before loading the aircraft that is veering, especially of you had another addon loaded just prior.

Hope that helps.

....in addition to the above:

Check that your autopilot is off.

Load an ac with rudder trim gauge (Baron has one I believe) and make sure the trim is centered.

Check your weather for cross wind (you didnt say if this happens in all situations)

or, if possible, get the offending ac in the air and put it on autopilot ... the autotrim sometimes solves the problem and the ac returns to normal even after the ap is turned off ...

All AC or just multi engined? Check all the throttles are engaged.

Ahhh, good one Simon  :) ... been so long since I've flown multi-engines I forgot that one  :P .

Thats what I though immediately, I had that for a while before I realised, hey, my right engine isnt throttling up, thats why I keep going left off the runway!?  ;D

To fix it I pressed E + 1 + 2
E + 1 is for left engine select
E + 2 is for right engine select

That should fix it!  :)

Unless you have a 120 mph cross wind blowing it is not going to effect you while taxing, of course you would have to be just short of crazzy  mad or insane to try to takeoff in that kind of crosswind. :-/
On any plane with multiple engines make sure they are off then open up your throttle window and move your throttle controls back and forth while watching the throttles if they do not all move try pressing F1 or F4 this should be min and max throttle then try controls again that should reset them.
As others have said you might have to recalibrate your throttles as well.

Thanks guys for the suggestions as you see i only get to the computer after 6pm so thats why i am only replying now. yes it veer on all jets and props

Good luck! My Mooney fly's so hard to the right without heading on, it goes in complete circles. Also one other fast single engine prop. I can't remember just now. Everything and all other planes are just fine. Maybe if you get an answer that helps I'l be able to fly the Mooney.

[papa-metro]

if you can't fly your MOONEY change the airfile, to,say, a BONANZA

If you have P-Factor turned up in the realism part all single engine props are going to roll. It could also be that your aircraft isn't balanced. 160lbs pilot with no co-pilot maybe?

I did have the P-factor turnd up to about 1/2 way. I have no idea what the P-factor is or what it does but I turned it all the way down. I fly with my Chiuahauha that weighs about 7 lbs. But I even it out on that side with 150 lbs. of my stuff. Thanks for the tip. I'l try it out Wildie
