FA/18 Keeps Pulling to the left

I use the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and penuldar rudder pedals in conjunction with SPAD for key/axis assignments.

I’ve noticed when flying the FA/18, there is a tendency for the plane to continuously roll to the left even when no inputs are telling it to do so. This is problematic, even when I try to active the level flight HDG hold on the autopilot, the plane will not maintain level flight and will keep rolling left. All the assists are off, and I do not notice any issues with erroneous axis inputs being caused by the joystick or rudder pedals.

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Check and adjust dead zones for stick, rudder and yoke if using that too.
  • I haven’t used spad in many years, but if it now has axis control abilities like fsuipc, make sure default msfs are un-assigned.

Flys solid, no roll.
And I’ll recommend 2 must have, solid mods:
-Uwa’s light mod
-Raynen’s fuel mod

Thanks. I resolved the left turning issue. It was because in SPAD I configured the “center” alignment axis to be of a value that didn’t quite match the true center of the joystick’s position.
