Plane always turns to left or right when taxing and take off

I’m a real pilot, just wanted to say thats actually somewhat realistic to what planes do in real life. Single piston planes do this in real life.

During takeoff , air accelerated behind the prop (known as the slipstream) follows a corkscrew pattern. As it wraps itself around the fuselage of your plane , it hits the left side of your aircraft’s tail, creating a yawing motion, and making the aircraft yaw left.

I’m not sure if the game is trying to simulate this or not.

You need to put slight rudder right to stop that, but adjust your sensitivity of your Yaw as its way to sensitive causing you to lose control, your inputs on the yaw should be very very slight.

In a small plane like a cessna, its very very susceptible to winds, in-fact when we fly them in real life and have to hold, if its a little bit windy, we turn the aircraft into the direction of the wind when we wait, because in some cases the wind can actually push the aircraft sideways! lol.

Anything over 5-6 Knot crosswind wind is noticeable in a C172 in real life.
