Problem with control centering in FS9 and FSX

[bbstackerf]

I have had and used the Saitek A-V-8-Tor Joystick, Saitek X-45, Saitek X-52, and now the Saitek ProFlight Yoke. In all cases I have tried re-installing software, updating drivers from the Saitek website, and even tweaking the hell out of left rudder trim, but the problem remains. in flight my a/c wants to drift to the right. On the ground taxiing my a/c wants to turn to the right. In calibration I always get a little bias to the right wether it be a joystick or yoke and this is in FS2002, FS2004, and FSX. Is there something simple I'm overlooking or incorrectly adjusting? I should also mention I have never used flight pedals. Since hooking up the yoke I have auto-rudder set.

I have an IbuyPower PC with 32 bit Vista, 4 MB ram, 2 8600 cards in single mode, with a Q6600 processor.

Have you adjusted/centred the Controls in Start > Settings > Control Panel > Game Controllers?

Also remember that any wind will affect drift during flight, and on the ground...(real life)......!

...and... torque reaction from the engines will create drift, particularly with single engined Props, when taxiing and taking off.

Flying, and Taxiing an Aircraft, is very similar to skating on ice and requires constant correction!......!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...slowly drifting into Slumber Land!.... ...!

..I have to go through the routine of correcting all my Joystick settings immediately after loading the Sim...and before doing anything else...every time...!
