Whenever i open up the throtles the plane always veers off to the left. is there any other way to fix this rather than a rough approximation with the rudder? it also veers left when i hit num pad 5, center all control surfaces.i am using a mouse and keyboard as my twist joystice is just too sensitive. not digged aroung int the settings for that yet. just want to fly straight!

And then there's of course the possibility that your joystick isn't properly set up (configured/calibrated)-in order to exclude the latter, you may want to simply disconnect all joysticks and see if the problem persists.

If you are flying single engine propeller planes, that veering-to-the-left-effect is normal.In real life, planes don't fly themselves straight without pilots' continuous inputs. This is the same in FlightGear. You should get use to it.

On a single-engine plane that is what's known as adverse yaw. It is cause by two things: 1) The angle of attack of the prop is unequal between the up-going side of the prop and the down-going side, creating unequal thrust. 2) Slipstream. This is the "mini-tornado" that is created around the fuslage of the airplane by the prop. This mini-tornado travels clockwise (looking forward) and hits the vertical stabilizer on the left side, forcing it to the right, thereby forcing the nose of the airplane to the left.This is perfectly normal and demonstrates the accuracy of Flightgear.
