HELP: when stick or with only keyboard as input, in neutral, the plane very slowly goes left.

[Double Dutch]

Hi,

 

My plane very slowly turns left in free flight I noticed yesterday. I was planning to recalibrate my joystick when I had to set some things for only my throttle. To check if that worked I went into DCS without a joystick, in free flight and my plane was also very slowly turning left without my joystick being attached.

 

So now I am assuming it is not my joystick but somewhere in DCS???

 

Any way I can set/calibrate that in DCS?

You need to use trim to correct. You can make sure there aren't any erroneous inputs by watching the controls position indicator. rctl+enter.

Trim the plane. That's what trim is for.

and/or fetch your next weapon launch from your left wing

I fly without weapons, free flight.

it's always left. @Foka @Hulkbust44 So that means you always have to trim your plane? till you fly level if all is in neutral? Really? 

 

when I look rctrl - enter, it is right in the middle.

I checked for joystick and keyboard input.

are both your engines set to the same throttle position ? any rudder input ?

You always trim, in every aircraft that can, all the time.

when I fly flight with no hotas input other that my keyboard, this is already happening.

You have asimetric loadout - TGP on left cheek, and right cheek empty. TGP has some drag and pulls aircreft to the left.

 

You have to trim.

 

Do an experiment - from that loadout fire left side AMRAAM, notice how plane will behave. Then restart mission and fire right side AMRAAM and notice how plane will behave.
