Hi all,
When I am taxing or on full trottle down the runway I always seem to drift to one side of the runway it varies but usualy to the left.This happens when I am at a good speed just below V1 or when I have just landed.I am using a Logitech WingMan Force Feedback.I had an other joystick and had the same prob.Can anyone give me advice on how to fix this.
Regards
Simmer

Hi Simmer. Which aircraft are you having the problem with? If it's a prop, these will naturally drift to the left due to the prop torque. Counteract this with opposite rudder according to your speed.

Hi there Simmer
if you are using a joystick then it may be do to the null zones. go into the joystick sensitivitys and move the null zone sliders cleer to the left.
hope this helps.

Check the rudder trim. If you saved a flight while the rudder was trimmed, and then made it the default flight, the rudder will always be trimmed on any aircraft or flight that you fly subsequently.
There is a command in FS for centering all the control surface trims, but I don't remember what it is. Try finding it in the commands.

Have you checked the calibration of the joystick,and tested it in the test panel to make sure it all works.
When you taxi,you should check your taxi speed,if its too fast you won't control the aircraft.
Also check the rudder trim is in the middle,and the aerions is set correct.
Hope this helps

Thanks all.Seem to have fixed it a small bit.My joystick rudder setting seemed to be off a fraction to one side,so I recalabrated again and made sure that it was centered.
Once again thanks for the help
