I am not able to go straight on the runway, because if I use key TAB and 0 I do not keep a straight line. Is there any other way to have the rudder in neutral position. Thank

Buy any joystick. Simulator controlled by keyboard is not good idea.

You could also try to apply rudder with the mouse: pressing left mouse button and lateral movement will control rudder instead of the ailerons.

@tatotata

Hmmm, I'm not sure, keyboard is cheaper than joystick and real Airbus has joystick, not keyboard control :)

I highly believe that you DO have the rudder in neutral position, and this is precisely what is preventing you to keep a straight line.

During a takeoff, you MUST step on the right pedal to keep the airplane in a straight line. Check this video (minute 4:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G1RLWjUgVg

This is a tutorial for FlightGear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQnvJ-bY5Hw

In a take-off, the rudder is most certainty NOT in neutral position. If you are interested in physics: https://wiki.flightgear.org/Understandi ... d_P-Factor

if press zero not working, then just press '5' . Press enter will be good idea.
I'm looking for your advice. Thank you for giving your advice.

Best Regards,
