Using downloaded military Jets, after engine startup, when aftburn for take off is applied, the aircraft "shoot" off to the right, Im a nooby so its more than likely my set up fault, any ideas folks, TIA for replies

No saved flights, at least not yet, Auto pilot, well I guess I,ll find out to use one eventually, but right now, it,s a case of me keeping it simple, the problem is not that serious, its just that after engine start and i gun them up for take off, for some reason they wanna go to the right accross the fields, ive just been letting them go untill rotate time, once in the air theyre fine

On a 2 Engine craft I hit the "ctrl + E " twice, they appear to fire up ok, the problem comes to the fore when I "Gun" them up for take off, the Aft burners come on ok, but as soon as the aircraft mooves off they all go sharp right, Ive tried holding the stick all the way left, that doesnt work as they go out of control, so, Ive just let them go accross fields, through fences and whatever else might get in the way, they do at the end of the day  take off ok, I would much prefer to stay on the runway though, hahahaha  aint it fun even without any dials etc in the Tornado Im flying

get into your Settings > Controls > Keyboard Assignments.   Look for RUDDER TRIM.  DELETE the 4 key assignments.  I bet somehow your rudder is trimmed dead right, and that is what is causing you to go off course.

as someone else also mentioned, check to make sure that by accident your Autopilot is not turned on.

Winds: set your flight weather to CLEAR SKIES.  (maybe you were getting a crosswind)


After you press CTRL+E to start your engines, wait 30 seconds for your engines to get to an "IDLE state".  If you have to, sit there and count to 30 before you even move the throttle just to make sure that your engines are in an "idle state"

in your fighters, stop GUNNING the engines after you start up!!!! First off, start your flight with your plane in a PARKING or GATE or RAMP spot, and NOT on a runway!! ... GENTLY move your throttle forward until your afterburners come on when you are about 1/2 way down the runway and not where you start off at.   This will help on your take off as well.


What Joystick are you using if you are using one? There may be something with your joystick where one of the control features is set incorrectly and that is messing up your take off.




--- Landing.  Are you experiencing any problems at all when you land? Do you lower your flaps slowly and correct the pitch of the craft as you are coming in for landing as well as reduce throttle slowly??

which brings up another point, check your pitch BEFORE you taxi to the runway because when you landed, you might not have returned your aileron pitch to a neutral state, and you may have too much +Pitch for takeoff power. (thus, reduce pitch and you should be okay)

Excellant input , I will check the and follow through with all the points raised as suggested, the Tornado is the IRIS TornadoGR4_X, There are a number of "models", so far Ive only use one, ( I will make a not of it), its more than likely the set up Ive done, from the cockpit you cant see out, the screens are black/grey, cheers

Hi Kenuck,

I've installed the same package and on take off roll it's tracking dead straight so assume you have something wrong with rudder trim or maybe only one engine running, although Tornado engine are central you don't get the same yaw effect as you would with wing mounted engines with a 'dead' engine.

I too get missing gauges on the VC, the mfd's are missing, only black sections where they would be.
In the 2d cockpit the view  is wrong on mine, it's not looking down the runway but at the runway directly in front of the nose.

In my opinion it's not as good as the Just flight Tornado on fs9 view wise - but same thing, I only tried first under Iris in aircraft selection screen.

OK people, Ive gone through the "check list" in settings and deleted the key controls, also, Hagar, Ive done the "thing" with your file and it works great, so far so good, NOW, I assume youve all heard of "MURPHY,S LAW" HAHAHAHAHA well, I saved my last flight and made it as my default, NOW regardless of which kite I use, there she is, sitting on the tarmac with ENGINES RUNNING, and they DONT turn right, unbelievable, anyway, Ive taken the tips with regards throttle on take off, and also the tips on landing, so the local Air commador has promoted me from garbage collection to Chief tire blower upper, thanks guys

Just re- reading the comments and the general great input, I didnt answer the question about the "joystick" Im using, its the Logitech Attack 3 model, an oldie from way back in the FS 98 days, Im open for suggestions on a replacement, Im finding this a bit heavy for these fly by wire aircraft, one over touch right or left and your barraleing all over the place....Cheers
