Significant aircraft yaw before takeoff

Featured Replies

Hello, I haven’t flown much lately but on my last few flights I experienced an issue that I remember from the past but I thought had been dealt with to an extent either in the sim or perhaps through some controller settings on my part.

The issue is when you’re nearly at takeoff speed and then suddenly it’s as if the tires have lost all ground adhesion and the aircraft starts yawing drastically and it very hard to control.  This happened to me recently in the Carenado Mooney and Seneca.  I did have a cross wind in both cases (though probably only 10kts or so, nothing crazy)...maybe the smooth takeoffs I’m remembering were without crosswinds?  No such issue in my recent CRJ flight.

Am I dreaming that this had been sorted to an extent previously?  My controller sensitivities all sit around 50%.  Thanks for any help...I’d love to get back to a smooth rotation.

I don't think you're dreaming.

It can still be difficult in the slightest crosswind.  The general consensus is the the wind effect on ground handling is well overdone.

I got fed up of trying to deal with it.  I have rudder assistance on now and I can enjoy the sky more rather than the trees and bushes! :smile:

It works quite nice actually, whether it is realistic or not.  Feels more like FSX.  The aircraft does a little shimmy / weathervane into the wind as you lift off the runway.

They need to fix the ground handling (Asobo do know about it). 

When they do, I will try being a real pilot again.  I do try assistance off occasionally just to keep my hand in!  😆

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Thanks I’ll give rudder assist a try.
