Plane automatically turns left.

[kubao]

Hey, I've bought game on Wednesday, and here's my problem: just after take-off my aircraft, without moving joystick, automatically turns slightly right and nose goes up. I don't think that's question of joystick because in FSX or Wings of Prey everything works fine. Is this caused by bad trim? Or perhaps this is quite normal? Can anyone help me?

Regards, Jakub

It's normal.

Remember those are propeller planes, so you have a torque moment from the engines and the propeller wind on your aircraft. You can use rudder and elevator trim to stabilize your A/C.

Thank you for answer. So I have to counter with joystick throughout the flight? It's pretty tough...

Would applying rudder trim be the go to counter this?

Kubao,

You need use "trim whells", see in Spitfire:

Make sure your rudder is centered after you join the server, at times my rudder is on full left lock, i simply turn opposite lock and back and the rudder is centered as it should be, a bit trimming up is still needed tho.
