Recently while playing, I've noticed on ALL of my planes, that during takeoff, the all act like the stick is turned to the right. BUT!
Even without the joystick, and using the keypad, the plane still jerks to the right. I got no clue, any help?

Recalabrate your joystick
and check your wind setting
ever so often I have to reload the
driver for my stick to keep it in
line!!!

What type of planes are you trying to fly? Prop or jet or a mixture? Try opening the throttle window and see if the throttles are in sync. If not, maybe that is why your planes are "pulling" to the right.
Post again if you have any further questions.

Also in realism settings if you have the torque set to high then it will do just like a real aircraft and pull in the direction the engine spins the prop. You just need to be gentle on the throttle and use the rudder to keep you going straight.

Damn, everyone beat me to it....but heres my input anyway....drag an anchor from the left wingtip and see if that helps.......  8)  ;D

and don't forget the WIND direction!!

if you fly prop plane it is normal. no problem you have to push the rudder to the opposite

Thanks guys, this wouldn't be the first time I have had the engines not in sync...
But still about the calibration.... I had the joystick totally unplugged from the computer and using only the keyboard. It still pulls to the right. Wouldn't F4 just increase all of the engines at once? I don't know...
Weird how they would all do this at the same time.

Prop or jet or a mixture

After having this problem, I tried mainly all of them.
Anymore help is appreciated!
I also don't have any realism set on...

Could also be a rudder trim issue...make sure everything is zeroed and centered.

Never thought about that... I'm always changing it for the ILS approach. It gets real touchy using the joystick for one of those approaches.

Are you manually starting the engines or using autostart? F4 will increase the engines, however, if they are not in sync, it wil only do one engine at a time.

I ususally don't start the engines, I start it with them already on. So if I do that, why would they be out of sync if everything started normally? This thing still bugs me... But it's strange, flying is fine, except for landings. Right when I get about 100 ft off the ground, the plane starts drifting to the right, so I'm pretty much facing left while still heading straight down the runway. Taxiing is the only problem...

Are you using any wind settings, perhaps you are in a crosswind. As far as taxiing, it can be difficult to taxi in a straight line with a joystick. Depending on the plane, sometimes the ones with suspensions are very sensitive, which makes problems.
Another possibility is to check thje aircraft.cfg file for the plane you are trying. Look at the flight tuning section towards the bottom. There is an entry for Rudder_trim_effectiveness. You could try adjusting this number. They go from 0(more sensitive) to 9(Less sensitive). TRy anything above 1 to see if it makes any difference.

Hey thx john, I'll try that. But I've been trying all my planes, how can all of their cfg files change at the same time? And there is no wind. However there is something weird. I'm positive I turn off all weather, clouds and winds, ect. But there are Always cirrus clouds way up. I'm not sure why...
