Plane Pulling Hard Left on Takeoff? (Read 654 times)

Hi All,

When I am taking off in any plane, they all pull hard left once I start building up speed. By the time I take off I have my rudder full right to compensate. Once I am in the air it flys nice and straight...

I have no wind...
I adjusted the FSUIPC (or whatever that module is called) to take out the cross wind on the ground
I have tried accelerating slowly but that does not help.

Any ideas?!

Thanks

Have you checked that the autopilot is not engaged? I had this problem too after saving a previous flight (with engaged autopilot).

Also make sure your rudder and ailerons are centered, all your trim wheels are centered, etc...

If that doesn't work, make sure your joystick is calibrated.

Just started playing this Sim and I have that exact same problem.  I have a Saitek X45 (USB).  It works fine on all other sims (Falcon4 SP3, JF-18, SF: P1, etc.) and other games (MechWarrior Mercenaries).  It is fine once I get airborne.

Should I try calibrating the joystick in the sim (FS2002) and, if I do, is it only calibrating for THAT sim, or is it changing the properties in the joystick settings?

I just joined this forum about 5 minutes ago, so I haven't had a chance to search, but does anyone have a good X45 Profile or one that would be recommended above the others.

Thanks in advance.

If its a twin, have you ensured that both engines are running.....I know it sounds a bit trite, but I have done that and wondered why I had such trouble on the ground....if its a prop plane, are props sync'd together ?

Yup both engines full power and sync'd...this also happens on single props...

I have had the same problem with the saitek x45 also recalibrating the stick, but does using it on hardest and most real setting, render it unreal?
