FSX autopilot problem

Have a strange problem that I'm trying to resolve. Using the F/A-18 from Accceleration or the Eaglesoft Twin Comanche - when following a GPS flightplan using the A/P, the A/C flies with the right wing seriously low as if it were turning into a quartering wind. In this case the desired track was 50, the heading was 49 and the wind was 358 @37. To me, if anything, this would indicate that the left wing might be low to compensate for drift. The A/C is not turning.However, when I switched to the default Mooney or Baron - wings leveled and a/c followed track as expected.The wind data was obtained from the ctrl-z data.Anyone seen this before?Thanx,VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx 169.13 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpgRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/

Could the problem be due to the aircraft not being trimmed properly?

I wish it were that easy! :)It only seems to happen on two a/c, if I immediately switch to a different one, it's fine. If I reload the old plane with full tanks and default setup - still has rightr wing low.This happens on every flight using the A/P to hold a heading.Q6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx 169.13 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpgRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/

Well, it turned out to be easy after all. My rudders had slipped out of calibration. Even tho they were centered there was a tad left rudder being applied. Wasn't able to see it until I looked at the raw data readouts and it was easily visible. Recalibrated and all is well!:)Thanx,VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx 169.13 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpgRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/
