,`keep left

[Nexusys]

hi, i dont understand why everytime i take off or more specific on the ground, my plane slowly headng to the left side, so i have to keep maintain my wheels to a straight take off.i checked my rudder and wheels is stay straight. no edit on controls or settings. its all default. why?  is it my joystick? i dont think so, i calibrated it. Help...

I'll assume you're getting this while flying a prop ?  It's the tourque and P-factor.. quite normal and very realistic.

It's most pronounced when you first apply take-off power, and while at a high angle of attack, climbing.

If your flying a prop plane it's caused by 'prop torque' & is perfectly normal. You can cancel in it the sim by setting the 'P Factor' to 0.

Cheers,

how to cancel the P Factor ?

how to cancel the P Factor ?

With opposite rudder  


Cancelling the effect all together isn't realistic...  might as well cancel drag and gravity too.. all they do is make flying more difficult  ::)

An article about taking off in a J-3 Cub that explains it in more detail......

Just turn down the Torque and Pfactor in the Aircraft Realism Settings. I find about half way or a little less seems the most effective. FS tends to exaggerate these two effects to the point it's almost impossible to keep on the runway with the sliders set full right. Never had that happen in RL in a 172. Just a little rudder keeps you on the centerline and during climb out.
