HOW DO I AVOID ACCESS TORQUE (PULLING TO THE SIDE) ON TAKEOFF?

A:

For you flightsimmers that hate when your aircraft goes left on takeoff but wish you could still have the torque setting so that it minimally turns left, then try setting the torque to half real. I did a flight from an airstrip in Corpus Christi, Texas to Corpus Christi International Airport with the torque setting on half real and only needed minor rudder trim to the right. (note this: I only had the torque adjusted and the crash tolerance at 1 notch from not real position. In cruise and descent, I monitored the heading carefully and leveled the wings if they were banking. that's where I determine if I need rudder trim. Landing was a "little" problem. On landing if you concentrate on the runway and touchdown, then the plane will bank due to insufficient rudder trim. So to keep the plane straight, I recommend that you rely on your heading indicator and attitude indicator for any sign of misalignment to required/assigned altitude. All the above works great for beginners or who are experimenting with realism settings.
