FS2004/FSX Gulfstream 4 flying crooked.

Plane needs an attitude adjustment!

After taking off at whatever airport and engage the autopilot, this plane stays on course, but is tilted so that the scenery line is higher on the left than it is on the right.

This why flying while intoxicated isn't allowed.   ;D  

One idea is to make sure your fuel is balanced on right and left.  Maybe even a crosswind?

There wasn't crosswind, unbalanced fuel, or alcoholism involved with this plane that looked like it was a dog being asked who it was endorsing for President in 2008.

Actually, I found the answer when I compared it to the autopilot settings in a G5 that I have.
