I have had three different joysticks and have calibrated all. Still I have drift to the right. Anyone having the same problem? I cannot figure uit out. If anyone could throw me a bone I would be grateful!

Ive had this problem also.
There are two solutions to this that helped me out,

On your difficulty settings turn down Torge on your difficulty or realism settings

BUT THE OTHER SOLUTION IS if you dont have that on then try and turn both engines on and make sure there both working becuase my airplanes would drift right and when I started both engines or how ever many you have it dint drift anymore.

Hope this helps  ;)

It's happening with single engine props. Even tried to trim ailerons and rudder. No luck.

Yep, it's torque. However, the rudder should be able to balance this. If you dial in, you may find a butter zone where it is balanced. Do you havea crosswind?

We get these threads quite often. One approach to the problem that's never suggested, is ...

I have also noticed the sim tends to render too much torque and PFactor with certain aircraft. Go to the realism settings, set all sliders to 100% and then drop T and P down 50-75% but as brett says you must work those pedals and dont firewall the throttle on takeoff, ramp it up slow at first and once moving and you have control, then give it a goose to 90%
