Ever time I takeoff at any time (only with real world weather) I can't keep it straight on the runway...I think I am getting blown to the sides but don't no if this is true....I go with equal thrust and equal fuel in each tanks/tanks....can it be my engine thrust is set at something diffrent?
If so in a 737 what is your thrust set to?

Thank you

Ever thought about using rudder to stay aligned?
Then, as you pick up speed, the rudder will become less effective, so use small aileron inputs instead

You wouldn't be suffering from a sudden, unexpected and violent swing to the left would you?  This seems to be a commom problem in M$ sims and is often compounded by ownership of a logitech joystick.

Correction: At low speeds you use the nosewheel steering. At higher speeds, the rudder becomes MORE effective due to the wind passing over it. Other than that, if you have a joystick, you just need to hold it in the opposite direction. Wind is a natural thing that both sim pilots and we real pilots must deal with.

LOL, ah yes...you beat me to it  ;D
Kinda mixed up the steering wheel tiller with rudder since it's the same axis in FS
