ok, so i got this in fs9 as well, but i thought it would go away with fsx, but it hasn't.

whenever i fly a helicopter, any helicopter, it always yaws to the left.
it is really annoying. the only way i can fly straight is if i fly at an extreme right bank, or constantly have some right rudder. as you can imagine it is not very practical.
i have tried adding rudder trim, but it didn't work

what is wrong with it, and how can i fix it?

thanks
chris

That's the torque from those massive whirly wings above your head.  It's a real world, and constantly annoying problem.  You could try turning the flight dynamics down to easy (or just the torque).

Simple answer: Get use to it.

Even in real life, you'll see helos having this same issue.
