VKB-SIM

I am fairly new to flight sims, I just nought a NXT EVO flight stick coming from a Thrustmaster hotas, I notice that although the stick returns to the center the aircraft does not, is this correct behaviour?

This depends on your in-game settings. To find out if it's joystick or a game issue run VKBDevCfg on Test/Axes1 in the background when playing; when your plane starts drifting Alt-Tab to VKBDevCfg and check the joystick's position in the tester - if it's centered then the issue come from the game. If it's not centered it means it's a joystick issue and we'll work on it to fix it here.

Thanks I will try this, its not really drifting, if I am banked right and let the stick go the aircraft just remains banking right?

Hey garyhayes1101,
Most general aviation and ww2 aircraft have somewhat positive stability built in them in that when you initiate a climb/descent or bank they will return " somewhat to neutral flight when controls are then let go / hands off, given of course the trim is in a neutral position.
However in steeper turns you will have to apply a little opposite control to bring back to level/neutral flight. So, I am not sure what aircraft you are flying or in what sim you are in, but it may be you just need to apply a bit of opposite control to bring aircraft wings to level. I reckon this is what fallout9 is saying ,it may be just the sim you are flying, I just make a short story a lot longer I guess my point also is if you are wanting flight sim " realism" this would be normal.
Here is a video I found quickly showing a Cessna 172 with a student practicing steep turns, watch the control yoke for control input initiating and rolling out of the turn.
Hope this helps and hope I did not offend your knowledge in regards to aircraft flight.
