I realize how basic this is. But the doubt is still here. So I've been working my way into x-plane 10 for the past week. I'm using the XPPL tutorials to learn from scratch, and my setup is just a joystick with twist - the madcatz cyborg v.1. I've removed all augmented stability, set all axis to 100% non-linear, and a nullzone of 12%, and set yaw to twist axis (how am I doing, does this make sense?!) And I'm trying to get the ropes of basic straight-and-level. Besides the ups and downs which are becoming easier to handle, the 172 banks left or right as it pleases (mostly left, though), and what I've been doing is bank the plane on the opposite direction until it's evened out, but by the time I get it right the heading is way off. Then I tried experimenting with twisting for rudder when the 172 decides banking is in order, but the only result I get is skidding, per the ball, and the plane banks left and right as a pendulum for a very short moment, and then the heading is gone again. So I must be doing something terribly wrong. Any suggestions highly appreciated!
