Hello. So about 10 minutes ago i was departing from (KSFO) to (EGLL). my total takeoff weight was about 530,400kg which shouldn’t be a problem. i was taking of from runway 27L. When i reached about 175kts i slowly pulled the nose up, but as i did the plane slowly turned to the right which i didn’t want to at all… i tried to use the ruder to change the heading but it didn’t help to much. Does anyone have any clue what could have happend? Note: i did calibrate before taking off
Also, the heading of the 25kts was (286) which means the wind was hitting the nose of the plane. I’m gonna put some pictures below so people somewhat get what i mean, thanks in advance!

Or are you just playing around?
What makes you think that, if you’ve been here around you probably know how serious i actually play on expert server
It just looks like you’re about to crash into the terminal that’s all. is this on expert?
No worries, i see. Yep expert server
From the photos it looked like you lost speed after rotate, possibly causing a slight stall right tendency. With this weight I always increase speed at a low climb rate to build some speed above 190 knots out and slowly adjust this to climb. It’s unlucky but in the last photo your down at 145 knots after being at 150 before that!
Also was your trim off, the photo on the ground shows a massive right tilt, the wind might have caused this but not that much so do you know if you were calibrated right?
Odd because in the photos the wind is at 256’. Which having 25kts of wind from 30’ left off the runway heading would definitely cause the aircraft to drift right.

Actually, i did try to gain speed but i probably did it to late
Did you have the fasten seatbelt sign on? Perhaps all of your passengers moved to the right to see the terminal on takeoff.

It will be great if you provided the replay makes us understand better :)
Is it possible you had autopilot on by accident?

Nope, i had it off
I had flaps on 1+f because of the total weight, i’ve done quite some flight’s with the a380 and it definetily helps lift the giant up in the air.
Dont i have to provide you with that on discors or something?
again, Heading was 284 and i was departing from 28L

Ohhh now i see, my bad. The heading of the wind was 286 before i took off and waited for clearance to take off
And it was 256 when i lifted the nose up
You rotated wayy too early for an A380. That’s why.

I just tested this and I think I agree. If you start pulling up at 175 knots you do start to lose airspeed on climbout which could cause this if you tried to climb too steep too quickly.
