Quick question....when you say veered sharply, do you mean yawed right...if so, is it possible that you had a reasonably strong cross wind blowing from right to left? That would push your rudder to the left, forcing your plane to turn right as it gains speed, prior to lifting off the runway. Maybe go out of your way in free flight to choose the calmest weather system, keep an eye on your wind speed/direction and see if it still happens.

I'll try these....let me know (if you have a moment) if you find settings that work particularly well!

Ya I've found that mixed weather offers me the highest possible wind, usually 68kts. I have a few saved freeflights in 68kts winds...it's super fun (and a bit of a joke) in the cub. nothing like flying backwards in a fixed wing!

wonderful...I used your settings within the screenshot category of the CFG file....one question however my pseudo cockpit is clipped, things too close to the camera are gone. do you know if there is a setting to control this?

That's the ticket! Other methods are all very appreciated...but I think with this way I can create a "default" position inside the pseudo cockpit. That being said, I haven't bought the plane yet. I love the other planes, especially the Cub. Does anyone have any input on the C-46 and how it flies? Is this a fun plane? Should i buy it? I have no brain and cannot think for myself. Just ask the wife...she'd probably say "OH COME ON IT'S 7$, JUST BUY IT" But she doesn't fly these things and therefore has no say.

good idea.... saving the game...how does that help? the minute I reset my view, it will snap back to the nose of the plane, yes?

Actually, I thought it might be free. Make no mistake, that is a far cry from thinking that it SHOULD be free, and it's nothing like thinking that we DESERVE it for free. No entitlement here. But, given what's happened, I kinda suspected that it might have been a goodbye present. Game companies sometimes do things like that, mostly as a PR thing, to ease negative feelings and lock down future business. Freebies are not unheard of in this business. Again, none of this reflects feelings that they are obligated, or anything like that. Anyhoo, does anybody have a quick tutorial on how to move the default view to inside the pseudo cockpit? Haven't bought it but I am debating.....

lots of fun. speeding down the mountain afterwards with an added 30kts tailwind....lots of fun.

do you guys use the aerocache indicator?

Anyone else developing a deep respect for Loki? Cause I am.

I have a comment on his article...it's dumb, and he's wrong. We'll never know why MS cancelled Flight, but it's not because of the product itself. Unless someone here is high-high up Microsoft brass, or MS accounting at the very least, deciding why Flight got discontinued is all conjecture based solely personal opinions, at best. Mods, aren't we tired of raising threads starting with things like anti-Flight articles, within a Flight forum? I'd lock it several posts ago. Sorry all, having a bad morning. Happens to us all.

Launching Flight now....me like harder to hit Aerocaches...... edit: damn I got that one June 1st.

ya I still love Flight....I play it every day. If this War Thunder has a great flight model, and I mean great, I might also give it a go.

Thank you Richard!

Thanks Jeroen...I don't know too much about navigation, but what I do know, you taught me pretty much all of it. Thanks again!!
