Have you checked if your props are spinning?  They can generate some significant asymmetric effects when they are moving (both in terms of torque and in terms of a spiralling prop wash.)

Also, our c172 is trimmed to fly pretty straight in level cruise, but that means it won't fly exactly straight in any other regime.

Regards,

Curt.

Hi guys,

I'm running the stable plib build of FlightGear 0.9.10 on Win32 and I've
got trouble with my flight controls.

On normal hands-off flight, my aircraft seems to consequently bank to
the left. I've already double-checked my control
calibrations and these are all dead center, the flight control
indicators on the HUD give center as well. So far I've noticed this
problem with both YASim (1900D) and JSBSim (C172) aircraft, which makes
me believe there's something else wrong. Also I noticed
that FlightGear only recognizes two controllers out of the three connected.

And yes, I've checked that the autopilot was disengaged ;-)

Here are the controls I have:
CH Flight Sim Yoke USB
Saitek X52 (USB)
Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals (USB)
