Are you using a twist-handle joystick? If so, try calibrating it, because it sounds like that's your problem. Should fix it.

What is your rudder control then? Pedals? Or is it coordinated to be aligned with your ailerons on the joystick?

If your assigning buttons to the 'rudder yaw left' and 'rudder yaw right' (equivelent to num 0 and num enter) then you have to assign a button to 'aileron and rudder center' (num 5) to recenter.

Or use the num 5 to recenter, in which case you might just as well  use the numpad for rudder , and save your buttons for something else.

Cheers,
Dave

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
