I tested it out it is the A-7E Corsair found on fs. I turned the realism off and i out clear skies. The plane still drifts left, i think it's in the cfg file.


Hm..
I dont usually fly jets, so im not sure.

Where did you download your A-7E Corsair?

I never touched the config file. Also i checked with the top down view and from the front. The aircraft is pefectly centered, and i don't apply any rudder it starts to drift off the center line

Again, how much drift? If it's a slight drift, it's probably not *perfectly* pointed down the runway, and may be off a degree or so.  If that is the case, I'm sorry, but such minor drifting is why they have pilots.

If on the other hand, it's "drifting" so much that yoiu run off the runway after only fifty meters or so, then there could be a problem, and it's probably not software, unless one of the variants has an asymetrical load distribution.  Do all variations drift, of just one in particular?

Did you touch anything in any of the files at all?
Or did you just extract it put it in the aircraft folder and try it?

Okay, tried taking off from the same place, like before, there's a slight drift to the left.  Very realistic, since planes tend to drift one way or the other in the real world anyway, for several reasons, from torque to cross winds to a bad bearings of a sticky brake on one of the wheels. I still don't see the slight left drift as any particular problem.  

A slight correction with the stick takes care of it when I head down the runway.  If yours does not, then I'm at a loss, since you said no other aircraft does it, so it's not hardware, and since you didn't do anything to any of the files, that's doesn't leave anything left to look at.

The only thing I can suggest is to double check rudder trim in the throttle quadrant, lower left, and put in about 2 or 3 degrees of right rudder.
