Hey guys,

Can you help me with a noob question. How do you take off in the P-3 in RA?

I've tried following the manual (enter 200 kts and wait) and also the Orion Warrior P-3 manual (gun the throttles, wait until redline, enter 3,000 ft, then hit '3') and both times, the Orion pulls to the right on roll out and crashes.

I've even tried setting a wind zone aligned with the runway - but then the Orion (after landing) places itself facing 'with' the wind and not into it...

I even tried a joystick - but the rudder controls don't seem to do anything.

Not sure what's happening. The manual instructions for takeoff used to work like a treat.

Please help if you can!
