Poor Rudder Control on Take-Off!?

[mungee]

I'm really battling to keep my Spitfire on the runway at take-off.

I build up quite a lot of power before releasing the brakes & push hard on the right rudder pedal, but my Spitfire delights in carrying on into the "rough" on the left of the runway - then it seems to "get the message" and swings way over to the right before I need to do some more corrective rudder movements. Is the ground-handling in CoD a lot different to IL-2 1946? - I seemed to have mastered fairly straight take-off's with '1946'.

Any tips? What about rudder sensitivity and dead-zone settings?

Thanks in advance.
