Hi,
I’m experiencing a horrible time during takeoff / taxi roll and landing roll.
I have NO joystick / rudder connected to the machine, yet I experience terrible yawing to the left during taxi (very slow speeds), takeoff and landing touchdown.
depiction : Terrible Yaw During takeoff (look at the attitude indicator)..
Can someone help me please ? I reinstalled windows, obviously new FS2020 installation too.
Thanks in advance.
This is actually realistic. Google ‘yaw on takeoff’ for a description of what’s going on.
i did, I’m not sure this much yaw (even at low speeds) is normal.
Make sure under “Assistance” that autorudder during takeoff is set to ON. That’s the engine torque pulling you left that’s normally compensated with rudder pedals.
I assume everybody knows about yaw on takeoff… but could it be also some strong cross-wind?
I remember once IRL I was almost blown from the runway.
I think this version will bring a lot of new simmers to the table which I think is a good thing. So no, not everyone will know about yaw. Cross winds are fun to say the least, but I suspect they’re talking about the engine torque. Without a joystick or rudder, it would be all but impossible to take off without the autorudder assistance. I tried it before I had my system fully setup…
There are rudder commands on the keyboard (0 and Enter on the keypad). There’s also an autorudder option (Shift Ctrl U) but I’m not sure how effective that’ll be.
I’m very familiar with the P factor. This is not the case, the yawing, even at low speeds, is absurd.
Well, you’ve reinstalled everything, so that’s likely not the issue. I can’t imaging trying to fly without some sort of controller, even a PS4/Xbox controller is better that straight keyboard. I’ve done it, but boy I HATE it. Maybe check rudder/aileron trim settings? I’ve not heard of anyone experiencing that so far, but since it’s so new, anything is possible.
And, as SkyHead81 said, check for crosswind, particularly if you’re flying with live weather.
Well, yaw with prop controlled airplanes is normal. Hence the right rudder… But i must say ( as a GA Pilot) that the GA planes is MS2020 are very “nervous” . I almost find it easier to fly in the real world and land than in MSFS2020 crying out lout
Yes, try changing to Preset Clear just to double check, but It seems weird that the yaw would always be to the left even during takeoff, taxi AND landing.
Well if the propeller started spinning in the other direction then the yaw would be to the right…but if your prop does that it’s because it’s fallen off.
When giving no rudder input on my (rented) 172, this happens. Especially when going on the throttle like that.
I always need to apply quite a bit of right rudder to go straight.
This actually looks fairly realistic for a single engine propeller airplane.
The torque force is most impactful at low speeds, when there is not much air flowing over the rudder. This means to keep straight you’ll need to use more right rudder input at 10 knots than you would at 40 knots. As you accelerate, there’s more and more air flowing over the tail and the rudder, which makes them more effective.
P-factor comes into play later in the takeoff roll when you increase angle of attack to lift off.
In your situation, since you have no rudder axis, I’d recommend turning on the auto-rudder during takeoff assist.
Torque steer.
I’m aware 
But we’re not talking about ‘a bit of rudder’… we are talking about full rudder just to keep it straight and it also happens the MOMENT i touch down…
listen son, I’ve been simming for more than 15 years.
such thing has NEVER happened to me.
but I guess the sim as accurate as the visibility readout by ATIS here:
Are you talking about the exaggerated left turning tendency at low power settings e.g. ~1000RPM?
This was very obvious during alpha/beta, but AFAIR it has been toned down with the release version.
A contributing factor for this is the exaggerated crosswind effect on ground. 2kts have the effect of ~20kts IRL.
