If a jet is also doing this then it is not a problem with the FDM since this does not happen for me and I suspect for 99.9% of us since jets have very low levels or toque and p-factor. This appaears to be an issue that is specific to your machine or your installation of FlightGear. Other than that I can't give you much help since so far there is not much information to go on as to why this is so badly behaved on your machine. > Also, I would assume a larger twin would not have the problem (if the > engines rotate in opposite directions). > > > Well it sounds weird that you experience it in every plane you fly - > > are you sure its not only propeller types you are referring to?
