Aircraft drifts by itself at runway, 100kph+

13.2k brians1209  3.7 years ago

The aircraft drifts by itself while it's over 100kph. (At the runway)
It's not a tail dragger, and the wing landing gears are custom made, and its Z position is very close to the CoM.
The plane is symmetric, I've mirrored it several times.
Is there a way to fix this?
Three of my planes has this problem, I still couldn't fix this problem although it has been several months since I got this problem.

    However, I dont think P-Factor is actually modelled in SP

    @brians1209 Its really only a thing on prop airplanes, but basically the spinning of the prop forces the air going backwards to spin, and when that air hits the rudder the plane goes way off in the wrong direction

    Maybe remove all drag that is not on the center, always works for me

    @Wallaby what is a P-factor?

    @Someterribleuser yes, quite close, the plane flies perfectly

    @Someterribleuser I dont think that would be the issue. Either there is crosswind, P-Factor, or the mass is to the side.
