Quote:Also the veering could be caused by prop torque
I guess this is due to propeller torque since it is to the left. You should add right rudder to correct this or decrease the torque slider in the realism settings.
If this is not the case and the center position is shifted, you can check it at control panel>game controllers>MS sidewinder>settings, and the opened window will have a tab for recentering the joystick if it is not centered properly.
Finally, you don't have to use profiles. Actually I tried to use profiles in some other games but when I start the game it overrides the previous settings that I adjusted with the profile.
