Flying straight and level, I see this. No way to change it.

Re-cage it and uncage it. That SAI is trash and has resulted in numerous mishaps because it has a tendency to process pretty badly. Pilots have to become slightly neurotic about re-caging it especially if any weather is in the AO. Otherwise you'd find out it's processed exactly when you need it the most.

Hi @ex81

The SAI is just a back up artificial horizon, known to suffer precession after a while. The same will happen in other modules, such as the F-16C. 

Like @ASAP suggested, caging the SAI again in level flight will correct it but only until it drifts again.

Shouldn't these self-correct over time when flying straight and level? The old analog ones in the warbirds should, but in DCS they don't, which IIRC there's a bug report out on those.

The ones that do self-level extremely slowly, like a couple of degrees a minute.  So if you're visibly out of whack on the SAI, it may take several minutes of straight and level flight.  That doesn't happen often in DCS.  I don't know that the SAI in the A-10C does this, but I assume it does.  I doubt DCS models this.

In real life they do not. They process with any kind of aggressive maneuvering and need to be manually recaged.
