Hi, How do I get the rudder on a small Cessna to stop going almost full left on take off and constantly making me go left during flight? I try to trim it but the trim seems hard to adjust or weak and I have the wind set to 0. It does this with or with out my joystick hooked up. I normally fly IFS from Upstate NY to Whiteplaines or Teterboro then back again. Thanks I appreciate any help I can get. radson

It's not the rudder but the prop rotation. It's caused by a combination of P-factor, Torque & Gyro effects & will vary depending on power settings. You're correct in counteracting it with rudder. I'm not sure if the default Cessna has adjustable rudder trim & this would be easier with rudder pedals or at least a separate rudder control on your joystick. You could always reduce the Flight Model to Medium or Easy from FS2002 Realism settings.
