RIGHT on takeoff; real planes pull LEFT.  FG 2.0 was correct

*What steps will reproduce the problem?*
1. Load C172 or J3 Cub or DHC2 (Beaver) or DHC3 (Otter)
2. Any airport
3. Increase power to full (normal takeoff for these planes)


*What is the expected output? What do you see instead?*
Real planes, and the same models in FG 2.0, pull to the LEFT due to  
propeller torque, p-factor, and spiraling propwash hitting the vertical  
stabilizer.

In current FG 2.4 release, all these planes pull just as prominently to the  
RIGHT.  This is the opposite of realistic.

*Any output in the console (black window)?*
Nothing unusual.

*What FlightGear version are you using (when using GIT version, please
mention date)?*
2.4 official release

*What operating system and graphics card?*
Windows XP SP3, GeForce FX5700OLE
