This stupid plane keeps yawing to the right for no reason

305 JordenMillar  4.1 years ago

Everything is centered, When i mirror the right, nothing changes, and when i mirror the left, nothing changes. So why does it keep YAWING TO THE RIGHT?!

    @JordenMillar irl it’s from the prop wash off the prop, it spirals down the fuselage and hits the tail, yawing the plane to the left, and torque puts a slight roll in also rolls to the left I think

    I never knew this, is it because the propeller’s mass is shifting the CoM of the plane?@MrSilverWolf

    Yes, it was centered. It was the unbalanced drag caused by the insignias. @tsampoy

    Also single engine airplanes should roll slightly and have slight yaw to one side due to P Factor and torque contrary to popular belief here in SP that planes need to fly like laser pointers
    Some multi engine (piston twins more like) also may have a slight roll to them too, but not as much as the single engines
    I should point out that this isn’t a super noticeable thing, and can be just a annoyance in SP if tried to replicate in a way to be realistic, and that most if the roll and or yaw issues in game make more roll or yaw that what I’d expect irl, which is cause by mirrored parts not having drag on one side or more weight on one side

    I also read yawing as yawning

    Did you check the center of mass though?

    I read yawing as "yawning".
    I'm probably tired

    @JordenMillar Sometimes insignias inside of wings can create weird drag stuff. Drag is sometimes calculated unevenly, and it can be bad if you have stuff clipping or in positions they were never intended to be in
