Hi there,  does anybody out there know how to correct left-leaning tendency with the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and MSFS 2024?  I hear that I should be able to fly at cruise "hands off" for at least 10 seconds.  Currently, with the Yoke in center position, I move left from 360 degrees, 359, 358 etc.... and the only way I can keep the yoke even is by pressing on the left side of the yoke very slightly with my left ring-finger or pinky and holding it there.  

I have heard that this is not a P-factor issue at cruise and it should fly straight.  I have tried to fix the problem by going under "game controllers" in Windows and moving the center circle slightly to the right but that does not work.  There also doesn't appear to be a way in MSFS 2024 to change this under "Settings" and "Controls" as none of the options under "Fine tune your input's curve" such as sensitivity, neutral, dead zone and extremely dead zone apply.  

Please advise if possible. 

Thx!

Hey Steve,

 

I think this is not a problem with your Yoke but the normal prop torque creating some noticable tendency rolling the aircraft to the left side. I have noticed this myself in the default C172 using a simple xbox controller so I assume that, if this stable and quite low powered aircraft has this effect, the more powerful aircrafts will have this also but more pronounced depending on model.

 

But, you can check if your Yoke is causing this in the controller settings for the Yoke, in the menu were you can set the sensitivity curves. On the visual curves display when you center the yoke the ball should be exactly in the middle of the diagram. If this is not the case and it always is slightly to the left you can adjust the center position value until this is fixed (if the Yoke is not cenetring perfectly you can definitvely fix it this way, just needs some fiddling with the setting).

Anyway, when you have the input centered in the cockpit, the virtual Yoke of the aircraft should be centered also - if this is the case but the aircraft still banks to the left slightly, it's simply prop torque and I would consider that as normal behaviour.
