Plane goes off centerline

915 ElevatorEnthusiast747  2.2 years ago

How do I make the plane go straight on the takeoff roll? I got the center of mass and center of lift in the middle (x=0) and I made the drag symmetrical. Still goes slightly left off the centerline while taking off, so it's probably something with the wheels, even though I mirrored them.

    @JesusChrist That's probably why, I did all custom landing gear.

    Custom wheels also seem to make your plane move very slightly on take off, I have no idea why but it happens with my new jet and goes away if I replace the front gear with the default one.

    either make a bigger rudder, or go to XML and increase the wing's liftScale

    @asteroidbook345 That's what I've been assuming, thanks for the advice

    Planes don't go straight while taking off irl, just think of it as realism. It's probably a drag issue but you should be using rudder anyways
