always turning left, no engines, trim reset only in mp.

[Snakedoktor]

Hi,

ive been waiting till this game gets patched somewhat before i get into it properly but it seems to be running reasonably now. i have been playing and learning to fly with CEM and TM in single player but i want to get into some multiplayer fistycuffs.
however whenever i get into a plane i seem to be turning left. i am idle on the ground i.e no engines running but i am still turning left. i try to take off but have to keep my rudder fully right just to roll straight, then when i get airborne my left wing immediately drops and i hit the ground.
if my engines were running i would assume that my trim is not reset but even with no power i spin left
..... also this is only in mp!!!
WTF??

i am using x-52 fyi

And with wich model of plane?

sorry.

happening with spitfire mk2 and bf-109 very badly. i tried it with the hurricane on an empty server and managed to get airborne but i still get the same effect.

i dont think this is a plane issue as it occurs as soon as i hit create.
i will jump into cockpit and the plane is rotating left on the spot. the back wheel is pointing right so it is moving with a centre of motion somewhere in the middle of the plane.

Hmmm...

Well, it has to do with what is called torque of the engine.

Remember these are fighter planes with huge engines so any changes to the rpm of the engine will cause the whole airplane "roll" along the axis.

For those with cars (I do not know your age guys so I make some assumptions), those with big engines (V6, V situated along the length of the car, if you step on the gas suddently, you will feel the car body rolling.

For those without cars, it is the wheel of the bicycle, when the wheel is spinning, it is very difficult to turn it to a diffenent direction, there is a powerful force causing it to roll.
It is the reason why the bicycle stays up when it is moving while we can not balance the bicycle while it is standing.

for those who have neither cars, nor bicycles, maybe you have a gyroscope, you can see the effect there, as long as it is spinning and your are trying to chance its direction, you feel the forces.

To cut the long story short, it is normal that the aiplane veers to the right or to the left (depending the way propeller turns) when you are accelerating (or decelerating).

You can compesate this by applying sufficient rudder to the opposite direction.

I hope it helps.

Happy take offs!

i confirm this too. No amount of rudder was capable of inducing anything other than straight movement. adjusting right wasnt an option. I for the life of me could not take off straight with many attempts to trim or remove whatever initial trim was causing the issue. and on every attempt i just pull left into the buildings. Also on ground taxiing i simply could not turn any other way no rudder or brakes would help. This was on the air quake server. Also before even getting to runway, no matter what i did the water radiator would perforate. full radiators open. hurricane rotol, spitifre 1 and spitfire 1a all the same.

moved to repka 1 and problem was gone. all functions functioning correctly.
