There are AFAIK, no reports by anyone else of a tendency to turn right. Left
yes, and that's intentional. Looks like a local problem to me. Have you
opened the property browser and checked some obvious parameters? Right brake
set to on would account for this effect, or rudder permanently set, rudder
trim might be a possible cause.

Since you seem to report it as happening in JSBSim and YASim, it's not
likely to be an fdm bug. Use the Hunter for tests, that definitely does
_not_ turn right deliberately or otherwise. It does have differential brakes
though, which can catch you out.
