I'm having a problem with the B737-400. As soon as I take off, it automatically turns to the right and keeps turning. Pressing Num 5 has become useless. I should press Num 4 to prevent turning to the right and keep it on track.

Regards

Hello copilot and welcome to simV.

Is this the deafult 737 or a downloaded one?

One more thing that can cause this problem:
Are you sure your fule is balanced? meaning, do you have the same amount of fuel in both left and right tanks?

On multi-engined types make sure all your engines are running before attempting to take off. Also that your controller is set up for all throttles. (Hit E then 1, 2, 3 & 4 in quick succession. Keyboard, not Number Pad.)

Also...on multi engine jets it seems that you can get asymetrical thrust out of the engines on some aircraft if you don't give the engines a bit of a "spin up" to about 40+ percent or so for a couple of seconds before you bring them up to takeoff setting. If you just go from idle to full throttle sometimes the plane "pulls" to one side.

best,

Thanks alot every one, my problem has been resolved.
Thanks Liran Bar, actually, there was no fuel at all in the left tank, all values were set to (0).

I CAN FLY SAFELY NOW!
