Question for Flight Sim fans and video gamers

If you have the choice, which direction do you generally turn planes and other vehicles?

I find myself almost always making left turns unless there's a compelling reason to turn right.

Also, are you left-handed or right-handed.

2. Interesting but it ruins my theory

Someone just sent me a study about the direction dogs tails wag and brain function.

I was wondering if there was a similar effect in people and video games.

No matter which way I turn.

5. Don't most GA airports have a left-handed traffic pattern?

I'm a big MS Flight Simmer, and I tend to take off and land at dinky airports. So I guess most of the turns I make are to the left.

I never really thought about it.
