Hey gang. I'm really disheartened by how I can't seem to get any solid runway/take-off steering control. My plane (any fighter) is insisting on pulling to the right. I've tried using the rudder, not using the rudder, etc., with no luck at all. The worst was crashing due to this at the start of a multiplayer game, and missing all the fun.  I have noticed that for some reason I do not have a stick calibration routine available in the input section of my options. Is something wrong there? Any help is appreciated. IP: Logged |

Hey all. I found what I needed to know in Nat's thread (40% throttle, etc.). It does seem to work better with the Spit than with the Mustang, though.IP: Logged |

If you are brand new to SDOE try turning off engine torque on the options screen until you get a feel for the planes on take-off, especially rudder control. Don't get frustrated. These planes are meant to feel and fly like the real thing. You can't expect to master take-offs right away.IP: Logged |

you're tellin me I posted something that actually made sense???  Really though, low throttle is the way to go, but I agree, the Stang is a pain all the time, with that I've taken to using even lees throttle and struggle to to get, and even whackin on full throttle and hoping for the best.. LOL With most, 40% throttle should do it, but there's no reason that you couldn't try at about 30%, use rudder to straighten up and be ready for the sidways "jump" when the tail lifts.. then straighten up again with rudder and slowly push the power up, usually in a fighter you wont actully need anything above 75% untill you're off the ground. ~Nat~ IP: Logged |

Bonjour!
You can try another thing too!
Put full aileron to the opposite side.
If you make this, you put more weight on the wheeland by the way add more friction between wheel and ground. I saw a real Spitfire pilot make this in the tv series "Peace of cake"
This is a not a perfect solution but is very helpfullClosterman =602 ième escadron City of Glasgow= IP: Logged | |
