rudder wont work in sim taking off.

[Mini Cheddars]

I fly sim all the time over 200 + missions
Im tired of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t error that gaijing isint fixing. while using ruder full right ''e'' plane will turn the opposite dirrection while taking off hitting tents, AA, or tress. Makes no sence why the planes have no wheel lock!! why is my bomber or two engine plane not taking off straighht? there is no wind in war thunder, there is no natural effects to cause this issue. Like I said before. Where is our tail lock?

I've found rudders just acting weird in general durring takeoff in any mode. Regardless of mode, nation, or aircraft, I find the aircraft and rudders tend to just sway left and right without me touching them at all. Taking off the carrier on the Wyvern in test flight, my rudders were just pulling left and right and without holding down Q, my right wing ended up being taken off by the tower.

this is a big issue since warthunder was released it has never been fixed. somthing so simple to sort out. I managed to fix it on single player mod messing around with the config

this works like intended in simmode.....a plane will allways turn to one side because of the propellerspin..
you hold "E" ???? how about to get a joystick with rudder or a real rudder and joystick when you like to fly simmode....

To sum it up, you cant go straight to 100% throttle.

And yes, there is a reason. Its called propeller torque. Depending on which way a propeller spins, your aircraft will pull to one side on takeoff, even in flight it was an issue.

Hence one wing being longer than the other on some aircraft (G.55, C.205, etc.) Or having counter rotating props (P-38, Seafire 47, Wyvern).

Some dual engines spin the same way, leading to more pull in a certain direction.

And the rudder can be bugged at times.

It isn't an Error.

It is called 'P-Factor', or more commonly to pilots as 'Left Turning Tendencies'. This is something real world pilots have to deal with when flying propeller driven planes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-factor


While this effects ALL propeller driven planes, it is substantially less noticable in game on single prop planes. However - when flying most naval fighters, twin engine planes or multi-engine bombers, this effect becomes much more pronounced, and can often leads unwarry pilots off runway into the many buildings/obstructions near by.

Often the first thing taught to you in most flying tutorial videos and individual instructions when transitioning to Multi-Engine private prop-planes is exactly this problem so that you can better prepare yourself for it:

Actually on some planes you have to. The FW190A for example, if you don't full throttle that on take-off you'll just spin out because the torque is so heavy during gradual acceleration that it's easier to just go full WEP and "ride it" out.

I allways thought it was best to throttle slowly, guess i was wrong.

i do slow with trottle on bombers only.

i do have a joystick i prefer mouse.

i found out one way to fix this is to decrease prop pitch when taking off.

No you're not wrong, it just depends on the aircraft. I've tried throttling up slowly on the FW190A and it almost always spins out. Give it full WEP and just ride it out, and it's okay. It's weird. Other aircraft it's best to throttle up slowly and counter it as you speed up.

[Deadtrigger22]

first pls tell me what plane it is second just try to give some less power so may 50 percent when you going faster on a straight line add power to reach enough speed for starting helped me in the most planes

[loonitun]

i had that problem for a while, until i just pumped up the multiplier for the rudder ( use a joystick ) now my planes can stay straight down the landing strip ... takeoff strip... also i always accelerate slowly until about 100-110 km/t then just floor it

Bind "vehicle brake right" max value on [E] and "vehicle left brake" max value on [Q]. make sure to turn off relative control on both right and left configuration.

I think they probably figured it out sometime in the 8 years since the post you responded to…
