cannot reproduce Function of real f18 or dcs anomaly?

[TheRigere]

So i've noticed on take off or taxiing the plane will pull to the right gently so I have to cheat on the left pedal to keep on centerline. As speed increases it evens out then as more acceleration towards rotate speed it will pull left. I thought i had miscalibrated rudder pedals, but I've reset set those a few times and they are calibrated. I wanted to know if this is an actual characteristic of the the real hornet or just a quirk in the game. I noticed its extremely consistent and manageable. If its real, I'm curious as to what causes it? I can only assume it as something to do with airflow over the rudder changing the effect at speed as I noticed that during taxi the rudder actuallylooks like its resting at hard right orientation.  Any thoughts are welcomed

It doesn't sound like something they would intentionally implement into an aircraft.  Do you have any dead zone on your rudder axis?  I usually put a dead zone of 2 or 3 on my rudders.

Did you try to take off in the opposite direction? Maybe it is some wind stuff? Or slightly left-right sloped runway...or do you use dual throttle? maybe it is not equally advaned...

So try removing one thing out of the equation at a time...so you get the reason of this behaviour

You say it looks like the rudder is hard right. Is that both rudders? Remember that the rudders will point inwards when TO Trimmed.

If its both rudders, then it sounds like you might have a dual binding on the rudder, make sure you clear off all the axis bindings for rudders.

If your hardware and curves are OK and you have the wind from the right, initially at slow speed the jet will weathervane into the wind. Many people here on these forums claim the effect is a bit exaggerated (perhaps not the wind but the jet's interaction with the runway surface).  As the speed builds up and the airflow effect is significant, the jet gradually becomes part of the airmass moving to the left and will start drifting to the left. Check your curves and deadzones first, as mentioned already.

I do have deadzone set but maybe it needs to be larger.

happens on any runway, airpfield, wind condition and even on taxiing. I'm gonna dive back in to the rudder pedals..its gotta be something in there

If it isn't crosswind, check you don't have a second axis bound to rudder, or something bound to rudder trim.
