Auto rudder is for when you do not have pedals or a twist joystick and probably has nothing to do with your problem. Have you tried to trim the rudder to the right to compensate?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

depending on your craft of choice, it could be a "torque induced yaw" (helicopters are horrible for this). Also, if you have multiple engines, maybe not all engines are pushing at the same rate. engine 1 @ idle while engine 2 is doing all the work. -- to correct this press and hold E then press 1, 2 (up to 4 depending on number of engines on your craft.) This will select ALL engines and tell them to work together.

Then you have "Torque induced roll" where the engine is powerful enough to try and make your aircraft roll to one side.. p51, spitfire are examples.

Then you have weight and balance issues - too much fuel on one side of the plane, or your captain is fatter than the copilot and needs to lay off the MacDonalds McRibs for a while.

I have even found some addon craft that no matter what you do to it, put all the fuel on 1 side, make the copilot or captain 500 lbs.... it still rolls/yaws... there is something wrong with the model when it was built.

If you have a yoke/joystick you may want to open its control/calibration panel to see if your stick center has gotten misaligned.

While you're there you may wanna recalibrate just for giggles.
