Vertical Stabilizer Issues

[Bit Fiddler]

Does KSP still have the problem where a vertical stabilizer will add lift in one direction?   It still seems to me any craft I build with a single vertical stabilizer will veer and then roll on takeoff and landing.  Yet if I use a "V" tail configuration this problem seems to be far less noticeable, or even non existent.    I have been fighting with this for a while now, and it looks to me like it is indeed the Vertical stabilizer causing this.  I seem to recall, long ago, a discussion on the forum talking about vertical "wings" still generating lift in their "up" direction.  So just wondering if this is still the case?

Wings generate lift solely based on their angle of attack against the direction of travel; a vertical stabiliser will generate no force if it’s properly aligned. You can also turn off certain axes on individual control surfaces to, for example, restrict your tail fins to only deploy for yaw control.

What you’re seeing is probably related to wheels rather than aerodynamics- turn on advanced tweakables in the main menu settings, then override the friction control on your front wheel(s) and set them very low (<0.5), which should stop most incidents of veering off to one side during takeoff and landing and the inevitable fiery explosions that follow.
