June 15, 200916 yr I apologize if this issue has been discussed before; I did a quick forum search but did not find anything.I have the following problem with the PMDG 737NG (all series): I can't seem to be able to keep the plane on a straight trajectory on the runway. Very often it pulls to one side (mostly to left but not always!!) and regardless of how much I try to correct the plane still pulls to one side. I've also noticed that this usually does not happen when I choose to begin a flight from the active runway (rather than from a gate or parking slot). I don't think this it is a joystick problem; other planes like the Level D 767 or the Tupolev 154M from Project Tupolev seem to have no problem sticking to a straight path on the runway. Thanks in advance. Matei
June 15, 200916 yr Matei,The next time you do a take off run have a look to see if both throttles are up to the stops. Are you using TO/GO for take off? Have you unchecked auto rudder? What controls are you using, and are you using FSUIPC to calibrate them?Justin Justin Paull

The auto rudder is checked as far as I know but I will look again to make sure. I use a ST290 Pro (rather primitive) and I've always used the feature within FS 2004 to calibrate it. I don't have the payware version of FSUIPC and wasn't even aware that I could use it to calibrate the joystick.Matei
