Simviation Forums

hi,
i just ran into a weird problem yestersday. I decided to go do some sight seeing with the default Cessna Skyhawk. i decided to start at the active runway just to save time. anywayz, as soon as i increased the throttle, my Cessna for no apparent reason turned to the left. I checked the rudder, the aeilerons (don't know if i spelled it right) but still no change. This happened on the skylane, skyhawk, skylane RG, Grand Caravan (amphibian as well as with wheels) and the extra 300MS.

Any answers would be appreciated.

PS:

HI X factor,
I have had similiar problems. I would check my joy stick and or yoke settings.

This is quite normal. It's caused by the prop torque & P-Factor effects. Try compensatiing with opposite rudder or reduce the Realism settings until you get used to it. This is much easier to control with a joystick with separate rudder control function.

PS. If you have a standard joystick without separate rudder feature make sure Auto-rudder is enabled. You can then steer on the ground with the aileron axis.
