Planes veer off the runway, no matter how mirrored?

1,566 UnicornPlanes  7.1 years ago

This issue happens almost unanimously across all my planes. when my planes are on a runway, no matter how mirrored they are, they always veer to the left. When I pull up, they always veer to the left and fall out of the loop, like a stall. This happens across almost all of my builds, and I have no idea why. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks guys, I think I have managed to find and fix the culprits. Most of my builds have an "airspeed indicator" made out of fuselage on the end of the left wing, and this seemed to be causing massively more drag than it should (its about 0.1 * 0.1 * 0.75 in dimensions), and my custom landing gear wheels were not at 90 degrees.

    Wheels that are not at a 90 degree angle will cause veering on the ground as well. Also maybe check for parts that cut through the middle of your craft as they will not be affected by mirroring.

    @jamesPLANESii the problem is usually unequal drag. It's a glitch that happens to the more detailed builds. It can be fixed by adding a hidden vertical stabilizer and pointing its leading edge towards the side that that is going down.

    With the ground stuff, you should reduce sideways traction of the front wheel, but flight stuff, that's an inexplicable mystery that I think only @BogdanX could answer... 0.0
