Default My plane is banking

Hello pilots!
I just got this game, and after reading a little here on the forums, it looks like that was not a good investment. But I disagree, I simply just love it...
I`ve been fiddeling with my controls, and I set up my xbox controller for now, and it works pretty well. I`m getting a flight stick in a few weeks.
So I use the left thumb stick to fly the plane, the right for looking about, and on the pad I have trim nose up and down and rudder left right.
Still, every plane is banking to the right, and it`s very hard to fly in a straight line.
Am I missing some trimming? I just assumed that rudder trim would be the right one to fiddle with to counter the banking. It help a bit, but not much. That is the only thing that irritates me a little, allways have to correct..
Allso I cant find the auto pilot enable/disable in the settings.... I want to use it for longer flights, and just forr keeping up with the ai

FOH.

Which plane? They dont have trims for each axis. The 109 for example only has trim on the Elevator. You have to fly with a small amount of rudder to go in a straight line.

Oh, I should have mention that yes.
As I just started, I play the english campain with the cheesy story and all. The first plane (dont remember the name now) and the spitfire are the only planes i have flown, and both acts the same.

Its the torque from the engine, I think spits/hurris have rudder and elevator trim but I really dont know.

Yes they do, both of them. Thank you, looks like I need to practise fine tuning my trims

About the auto pilot, how do I make it work? I found a toggle ai in the control settings, is that the right one? Anyway, it was mapped to "A", but nothing happens when I use it.

Thanks for the offer, but I think shipping cost and import taxes here in Norway will make that more expensive than buying it from the store.
I was thinking about this one: http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=301766
Now I know nothing about what is a good stick, and what aingt so good. How is the stick I put in the link?

I became frustrated with trying to get to work as easily AND as well as my MS FFB stick. It 2yrs old, and not used much.

How does $275 sound?
