Calibration

Hi,

I've just got CFS 3 a week ago. I followed all instructions when installing. But when I fly my plane (whichever I choose) always urns left a little. I've clibrated the joystick but it still does that. Is it normal, and how can I fix it?

That's normal behaviour on a piston engine plane and caused by engine torque (you won't notice this on the P38 and the jets though).
You have to trim your control surfaces so that you fly straight and level, the amount required changes with airspeed, altitude and weight.
check out the keyboard shortcuts under "control surfaces".
