Planes keep going right

[Mistro]

I cannot fly without constantly pushing my flight stick to the left just to stay on course. I noticed this happening with any plane I fly. I am not yet savvy with autopilot yet and it's tiring flying long distances without being able to relax a little. Is this commonly a flight stick thing or is it something to do with how the plane is configured? I did try to trim the rudders but no dice. Any help is appreciated.

It sounds to me like you need to calibrate your joystick

This is a common thing with propeller aircraft. Even in the real world you have to use the rudder pedal to offset this. Most air craft have trim wheels that will allow you to trim up the rudder. If the plane goes to the left you need to add right rudder to compensate. Now  it is possible that some third party aircraft will not have this feature. If this is a twin engine aircraft make sure that the throttles are being advanced equally.Even in a jet aircraft you can have the same thing happen check the throttles and make sure your brakes are not on. If you do not have a way to control the rudder with your joystick then turn on auto rudder and you will be able to control the rudder at the same time you control your ailerons 8-)

This may seem overly simple but check two things...Make sure you don't have any wind set up, and, check the fuel in the tanks...Sometimes if there is more fuel on one side of the plane than the other, it will drift towards that side...Also, check the payload to be sure it's balanced...

True, but that causes a left turning tendency in the aircraft, not a right turn as the poster as specified.  Also this is a game created phenomenon, I dont believe the aircraft has much to do with it in our case.

I'd check the fuel load, but first, calibrate the joystick.

I have had issues like this check soome of these

1 - If you use rudder, uncheck autorudder in settings

2 - Assign a button to "center all controls" in controls options. This should ensure that all trims are centred

3- For 2 engine plane check both are running even

4 - To make sure its not wind, chnage weather to "All clear weather", so you have zero wind. Good for checking a/c drift is not due to wind.


5- Tune null zone on airleron and rudder


6 -
