| I read the question regarding how to make a plane stay in the middle of the
runway on taxi and landing. Is there a hot key for that?
Also will FS9 work better if the entire program is loaded on the hard drive
instead of running it off the cd.?

| Don't know about the hotkey for keeping the aircraft in the middle of the
runway. Thats a new one. The only thing FS9 needs off the cd is the
FS9.exe file. Make sure all your scenery is installed on the hard drive.
There is a nocd patch for FS9 but it is not recommended to use as a lot of
3rd party software will not run properly.

I hope not! :-)
Using rudder control to keep an aircraft going straight down the
runway is the usual approach.
For small single engine planes, the tendency to veer to port can be
the result of torque (you can play with torque/prop settings in that
same area of the general settings you adjust for "realism"; sorry, I
don't have it open right now to look at the exact location of these
settings).
Anyway, I should think that you'd want realism settings to mimic as
close as possible the behavior of the actual planes. Torque,
crosswinds, etc., all exert directional forces on the aircraft as it
runs down the runway.

Oops! I may have misinterpreted your question a bit...
If you were looking for the keyboard shortcuts for *rudder control*,
I'm sure there are (if not, you should be able to create them for
yourself in the joystick/buttons/keyboard options).
My "I hope not" comment was a reaction to thinking you might want a
HotKey to just hit once or hold on to in order to keep the plane
going down the center of the runway. Rudder control must be more
subtle than "hit a HotKey and forget about it". :-)
Sorry if I misunderstood! I'm trying to do about five things at once
here so that I can get away from this silly machine and actually get
outside to breathe some real air! :-)

| Ahh like driving
"Is there a hot key to make the car stay in the middle of the lane?"
"no, just steer the car"
for keyboard, rudder is on the Keypad keys 0 and Enter. You can centre the
controlls except elevator with keypad 5, This centres the controlls, not
centres the aircraft ;) Like bringing the yoke to centre and taking your
feet off the rudder. The better way is having a joystick with a twist for
rudder controll (or even better still, rudder controll addons)
