Why does the TBM act like there are strong lateral forces...

...on it at takeoff most of the time?  I don't think it is related to wind direction or velocity just sometime as the nose lifts the plane jerks sideways, as if there is a stiff x-wind.  And other times it will not do that, so it's inconsistent.  My yoke is centered FWIW.  Does this happen for all users?

Hi,

I use this Mod, and for me there is better grip on the ground.

Do you have Assisted Rudder turned on in settings? If so, that is the reason. It is compensating for any kind of crosswind, no matter how small or large or what angle it is, in order to keep the plane on the runway heading.
