Gyropilot not holding heading

[Russell Gantman 0]

I know this is pilot error since no one else has reported this yet.
I followed the tutorial to enable the Gyro pilot, however the heading drifts (mostly towards the co-pilot -- starboard) during a flight.
My altitude remains rock-solid, so I figure I have part of it (Gyro pilot) enabled correctly.

Few things to nte
I set the "bypass valves" to their default setting of 3
I trim the aircraft to fly straight and level before enabling the gyro-pilot
I enabled the two levers by my seat:
Right one first to pressurize the system (wait for pressures to stabilize)
Left one to enable GP

The plane stays straight for a while, then begins to drift.

Is there anything I am doing wrong?
I have 1.62 installed in MSFS (latest build / updates) running on Win 10 professional

Thanks for any help

Duh!

I tested mine a while ago. I think with the limited functionality in MSFS it just holds altitude and heading after pressurising and then engaging the gp leaver.

But mine was also drifting until I centered the ball with the rudder trim. I guess it holds wings level rather than heading.

I’m still hoping to see a proper gyro pilot in the MSFS version soon.
