Since the recent Kodiak update from the Market place with all the fancy seats I cant get to fly the plane level. It flies straight but dips the left wing. Flight model is Modern but same happens in Legacy.
This has only happened since the 1.5 update a few days ago.
I havent changed anything and it only happens with the Kodiak 100 so it isnt my settings.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Kodiak 100 was one of my favourite planes. Now I cant fly it. Wish I could reverse the update but ofcourse that isnt possible.

I have had the same issue . I Cannot keep plane level. Glad I am not mad ha ha. Flew it yesterday and could not get it level out even on autopilot.
Check your rudder (bottom of MFD) before startup. Default it is not centered, so you should trim it. Trim it also during flight.

Yes, check the rudder trim. It’s not in the center anymore (actually quite a bit off to the right). Hopefully that solves your issues. Keep the ball in the center.
Thanks also FolkischZeus315 for your replies. That indeed fixed the issue. I dont think the update release notes mentioned that the default rudder setting is now 10 points to the right. What is the point of doing that? The other issue I also noted is that some of the light bindings like Landing light etc do not work and you have to hit the switch manually in the cockpit. I have these switches set on my StreamDeck which makes life easier but they dont work on the Kodiak 100 anymore. Which leaves some lights like Landing licht horribly flashing.
Not too impressed with this update but at least the rudder issue is as you say.
IRL the Kodiak has a very strong pull to the left at maximum power (P-factor). When taking off, it is therefore recommended to use 30-50% right trim to compensate for this. The Pilatus PC-12 for instance shows the same behavior.
Yes, you need to carefully do your checklists, otherwise you might be in for a surprise in the kodiak 
The landing light has three positions, including flashing. This is the way the real plane works too and I know I’ve had issues assigning hardware buttons to this kind of button type and make it work as intended. Has this worked before?
as far as I know yes. But now I know I can just throw the switch on the panel.
That must be it.
