Always drifting and rolling to the left

[Waldherz]

I only have this in this game. This problem has nothing to do with my flightstick.
I even connected 2 different ones to test. I still always steer and roll to the left. Always.

You mean, in a single prop plane? If so, that's 100% normal and accurate. The spinning prop is pulling your plane to the left. Dual engine planes have counter-rotating props which counter this effect.

Same issue here. It's really fckig annoying as it means you can NEVER relax in flight. You're always correcting.

Ohhh, didnt know that!

On planes with rudder trim, trim the rudder right to correct this.

On planes without, there might be a cruise power level (less than max) where the drift is not as bad.

This is why Autopilot was invented :) It's not cheating - pilots use it in RL all the time.

Rudder trim works as well, if the plane has it.

The small Cessna prop planes have AP? I don't even think it has rudder trim.

No, it doesn't... which makes it a pain to fly long distance (just like in real life lol... I know - I flew from Ottawa to Sudbury in a no-AP c172, and you have to keep on top of the heading at all times).

You can also go into the settings and pick Legacy controls instead of Modern ones. Then turn down Torque and P-Factor (P-Factor is what is causing the roll you experience).

P-Factor is the aircraft torque-rolling against the spin of the prop. The faster the prop goes, the more P-Factor you get. Try to keep your throttle as low as you can get away with, and be very, very gentle with your throttle adjustments - that ought to help.
