i am new to this.  A problem I have is when i  attempt to set a heading before turning on auto pilot,  the aircraft tends to start a slight drift to the right.  (I probably didnt say that correctly); I make adjustments to bring it level then it drifts again.  this happens on diffenent planes.  Can anyone help?

Do you fly with a joystick?  If you do, I would try calibrating it.

Hit alt, go to 'controls', 'calibrate joystick'.  Follow the instructions. Wink

And welcome to SimV Grin

Might be your joystick.  I went through several (same one) before getting one that worked right. 

But try this: Opening screen>realism>realism settings>current realism setting:  Set this to "Easy", maybe that will help.

And welcome aboard.  Always ask if you need help.

Just a thought but it might be wind drift.

If you take off heading west with a south wind you will be pushed to the right (north).  You would notice it more in a light GA than in a jet airliner.

Then again, I could be wrong.

thanks for all the advice; i am at a very simple setting right now, so i have no wind; but i am beginning to get the hand of it.   I think the drift is caused by my tinkering.  thanks again.
