Problem with aircraft at take off.

When I’m starting my take off roll, the plane always seems to swerve to the left. I then try to turn it right again, but it goes way right resulting in a crappy take off. 🙁

Does anyone know what the problem is here?

Thanks.

If you are flying a Cessna or other prop then this is realistic and should happen – not in a jet though…..

I regularly have this problem, the solutions have always worked for me:

– check the fuel in each of the tanks, a lot more in one than the other will cause a swerve
– Go to a head on view, at low speed roll the a/c a bit and check the wheel is lined up straight (use 0 or Enter (NUM off))
– Check all engines are being used, not just one,

I no exactly what your on about, to balance the aircraft out use the airilon levers to make the whole aircraft leveled out better.

Sometimes you might find that the throttle’s only controlling one engine – if that’s the case press E + 1 2 ( 3 4) (for a 4 engine aircraft). But I’m not sure that’s your problem. Look at the throttles at takeoff – and also don’t go straight to full power on takeoff – allow the engines to spool at 30% to ensure that both are running at equal power.
This may help it may be rubbish to you ! 😀

I’ve also had that in the past, but haven’t a clue as to what it is. I find that re-starting Flight Simulator solves the problem.
