This is an effect called "Torque" which is the way a plane likes to veer off to the side dur to the rotatin props. This is not a bug.

Just correct it with the rudder or rudder trim.

Try easying the throttle open slowly as you accelerate, it is easier to compensate for the torque that way. Some planes do require alot of rudder to counter the torque, especially the powerfull late war aircraft.

Another solution to the tendency of the default 'taildragger' aircraft to ground loop is to apply a simple fix which adjusts the amount of tailwheel rotation.

Open the aircraft's aircraft.cfg file and look for the contact points section. The first definition (point.0) is for the tailwheel. The value that affects tailwheel rotation is the seventh one in (steer angle). Set this to: 060

Example from the Hellcat below:

point.0=1, -19.00,  0.00, -3.98, 3200, 0, 0.40,060.0, 0.30, 2.5, 0.70, 1.0, 6.0, 0, 0, 135

It does sound as if your problem is propeller torque though - apply opposite rudder to keep her straight down the centreline.

Lol - i must have ended up on an old page when I was checking in. Could have sworn it was among the most recent message - things are all a bit confused at the moment...
