Plane turns left problem

[ChikChak]

Hello everyone!

I have a problem in FSX that my plane is starting to turn left immediately after take off. (I use keyboard)
When I try to stabilize it by pressing right arrow it turns too much and the plane goes crazy..

I tried everything... reinstalled, put difficulty on easy, plugged off the mouse and the keyboard (in case they are interrupting the game somehow), tried all the buttons in MCP and nothing helps...

My OS is Win7
CPU - INTEL C2Q Q9550
GPU - ATI HD4890

I really like this game and I want to buy a good joystic.. I won't buy if it's not working
Please help me

what aircraft is it? if its one of the cessnas, its probably the torque from the engine turning you that way, (it can a little) correction is minor, so dont be too drastic with it, but the key is to get a rudder keys set, and a 'centre' rudder button to allow you to counteract the torque, tbh, I think most problems are from the keyboard use, rather than the game.

I fly using the keyboard, and have no trouble. You are over correcting and that's what causes your issue. Go to my site below, and read the articles on what causes a plane to turn left and on flying with the keyboard.

IMHO a good joystick is ESSENTIAL, butI'm not Andy Johnston.

tbh, I can't fly without pedals and yoke/stick anymore... I find it difficult as heck, though did manage do circuits in my 185 on my laptop once when bored at the station, with a touchpad! that's ghetto!

I found the problem!
The problem is at specific mission, all the rest are OK!

Just one more thing, how do I fix the crashing problem? it crashes 30 minutes after take off..

Check out my Windows 7 post and give that a whirl - it will mean a complete reinstall of FSX and I read you can only reinstall it twice - so - that would mean a registry overhaul or reinstall of Win7 - I do that yearly anyways although I just started using Win7 a month ago.

I have reinstalled FSX so many times on 3 new computers without a hitch that I have lost count. I, too, have heard of the limitation you mentioned, but have never experienced it. Understand, I mean new computers, you know, buying a new system. I only have one FS System at a time (that is all my patience would ever allow!)
