A real life pilot's first sim experience

The Bravo tracked straight down the centerline without any help from

Gimme a break.

You need to set the aircraft realism settings to "difficult" for the P effect
for the aircraft to require hard right rudder on takeoff. I believe out of
the box that these settings are set to "easy" since the typical non-pilot sim
pilot is unaware of many aspects of real life flying.

Yes, and I've heard that the simulator actually exaggerates these effects if
you set the realism all the way up. Most of the add-ons for the sim recommend
high settings for all the realism parameters except P force and torque, which
are set about mid-way to the maximum.
