Aircraft with a left slant

Featured Replies

Hi

i am not sure if it’s a problem with my yoke, the kind of aircraft or something with MSFS but I am finding that my aircraft all go slightly to the left.

It’s more noticeable on take off where I need to move the rudder to the right, but it still happens when in level flight.

this happens more with propeller aircraft  so is it to do with the rotation of the propeller?  My jets also go left a little so it could be my saitek yoke, even though I have calibrated it.

Does anyone else experience the same?

Do you have a passenger in the right seat? Try that, same 170 lb weight as the pilot.

Is that like having fuel only in the left tank and not in the right? 🤔

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Try the Turbo Arrow, it is very sensitive to this. Without a passenger, the plane wants to roll to the left nonstop. Add the passenger and it flies level as a sheet of glass. Well documented here and the JF forums. 

You didn't specify which aircraft this is happening in. The Caravan, TBM etc?

Oddly enough I noticed this very issue while flying a 737 in X-Plane 11 and the cause was a tiny (like 0.5%) deployment of the spoilers on the right wing and nothing would make them go back down until the landing.

Do they happened to be single engine propeller aircraft? If so it can be this

Ive been finding it as well. Never knew jets suffered from P factor, but it's happening.

My doctor said its very normal to curve to the left...

For me, the rudder trim slider on this desktopaviator panel is an elegant solution to these issues, meanwhile the elevator wheel is the other trim control right there handy. Both of these trims are used often every flight.

The 6 switches are actually 12, set them up or down. Those 6 toggle switches are only $3 to replace each one (one of mine developed an intermittent fault, was super easy and cheap to replace).
