Plane Pulling Hard Left on Takeoff?

Websters II has it as circus, ain' it though  ;D

Welcome to the fun world of Sim Forums, it only gets worse from here

I have the MS Sidewinder Precision 2, and only every big once in a while I find myself heading off to the left, never the right, I blame it on hard landings from Airbus drivers, rutting trails on the runway with bare wheels after they blow their left tires out.  ???

Actually, I have no clue why it does it, I'm just glad that it levels out on takeoff

Er... What if it pulls hard right?

Kidding. Don't know.

I often have this problem. I find its always to do with the Autopilot.

I think hitting Z or shift-Z when this happens disables the Autopilot.

I made sure that the autopilot was not engaged...but still pulls hard left...???????????

I had this problem too. I found that moving the joystick in all directions, a ciruclar motion alleviated the problem. Also, move the rudder left and right by twisting the joystick. If this does not help, I don't have any other suggestions. Obviously you should do this at a complete stop.

This phenomenon mentionned by CraigL is called: Korkscrew. It happen when the airplanes is taking off or landing.
