The A2A Simulations Community

Hi again, could one of you experienced sim pilots suggest what im doing wrong,when I first installed the above,two gentlemen were kind enough to help with the views {A&S} and everything seemed fine, now when I try to take off the B17 swings to the right [asymmetric thust]?, however no matter what I do A/C keeps on going right , braking left has no effect , left rudder no effect, tailwheel locked or unlocked makes no difference, all B17 models same problem? as I said in my last blurb Im knew to FSim, any assistance would be most welcome.

PS after B17 install F86f sabre, aircraft to tower com. sometimes does not work, was ok before.
thanking you in advance Ed.

Here are some ideas that come to my mind:

1. Persistant damage from an earlier flight. Have you checked the maintenance hangar to overhaul the engines, airframe, etc.?

2. Throttle technique. Are you moving all of the throttle levers forward at the same rate, at the same time?

3. Graphics settings too complex. I've had aircraft become uncontrollable on take-off, detouring through the grass and ending up smacking into a building or something. When this happens I've found that reducing the autogen or AI traffic usually helps. If you are trying to fly out of a major international airport near a populated urban area--basically lots of autogen buildings, trees, custom scenery elements, AI traffic, etc--this might be the cause. Try a smaller, remote airport as a test.

4. Joystick needs to be calibrated. How are your stock aircraft behaving?

5. Weather. I'd be surprised if this is the cause, but if you are using real-time or custom weather and the wind is really strong, it might be blowing you off the runway. (I've actually created wind/rain conditions so extreme that my parked Cessna was lifted and tossed through the air toward the neighboring city! )
