Ok, every time I try to takeoff in a Dash 8, the plane turns and tries to slide off the runway. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Can someone please help me. Thanks :)

Its probably the wind.

But everytime?
If you mean in solo also check the wind
No, I just took off from KJFK on Advanced.
Go to KJFK now and check the wind
The wind was at 162*, at 7kts
You took off with head wind or tail wind ?
I think it was a headwind. I took of runway 13R.
It might be the Calibration
I always calibrate my device. Plus, it was around takeoff speed (95-115kts)
Well…i gave out all the possible things that might been the problem.
Sorry. Hope someone else can solve it. Thanks for the help :)
Welcome.:)

Yes! Is it like turning when you don’t want it to?
Yes exactly

Yep. That’s why I prefer not to fly the Dash 8. However, you can’t learn without trying!
What are your flap and trim settings? Also, what speed are you landing at?
I said take off …
