IXEG 733 banking right after departure

[ShermheadRyder]

Hi,

In XP12 I have an issue with the IXEG 733 banks right shortly after departure requiring a significant amount of left roll input to remain level. I've re-installed the plane a few times and calibrated my joystick a few times but to no avail.

The linked video illustrates what I'm seeing, I've included a bunch of data output showing (amongst other things) no aileron surface deflection, no aileron trim and a neutral aileron axis.

Take-off is with 5 flaps and speed is way below the flap 5 limit.

Hmm, your rudder shows a 7% deflection to the right after take-off, this should be enough to start this kind of roll.

Make sure your hardware is calibrated correctly - your values should be around 0.00 for aileron and rudder if you do not touch the controls.

You can check your "rudder trim" to be at 0 - or even use it a bit to the left to make the rudder point straight. No real aircraft is ever perfectly "rigged" and in reality it is enough to have a bunch of US citizens sit on one side and a bunch of Japanese on the other to make you grab that trim knob.

If all else fails, set up a bigger "nullzone" in X-Plane by increasing the response profile to include a "bucket" around the neutral position, so that small deflections of your hardware get interpreted as 0 input.

Apologies, you're spot on - I'm not sure how I missed that!

It does indeed look like I have a sticky rudder sometimes, thanks!
