September 7, 20205 yr Hey everyone hope all of you are safe and sound, recently i have been drifting from fsx and started to explore x-plane 11 and i have been using the trial version bc im still thinking of switching from fsx to x plane, but i still use fsx because i have such a great bond with it. however when i haven't used fsx in months or for a long hiatus, and im loading my flight and loaded into the map and im going full thrust down the runway, my plane goes or veers to the left. I have had this problem before when i didnt use fsx for two years. any ideas? tips?

September 8, 20205 yr As Kaan mentions above. Perhaps you have forgotten about P-factor and torque reaction? I presume you are referring to propeller powered aircraft, especially single-engined ones?

September 8, 20205 yr Sounds to me like you need to use some right rudder to compensate for prop torque.
