Why does my plane roll so hard?
I started playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and I’ve managed most of the basics now, but there’s still one major problem I’m dealing with.
No matter what settings I have my plane will have a massive tendency to roll right. I thought this might be an issue with the rudders, but the plane is rolling - not yawing. Trim and flaps seem to be normal too.
I’ve done my best to factor other common issues - I have this issue with assists both turned on and off. This affects both propeller planes and jet planes - and the spin of propellers gives them a tendency to roll left anyway.
The only things I think could account for it is an issue with my controller, which I feel I can factor out after the issue persisted on a second controller; or possibly an issue with which fuel tank my plane is operating from, but the roll is so severe I don’t think that’s it either.
What might be causing my plane to roll hard?

Why is my plane ride so bumpy?
Turbulence is caused by sudden changes in wind speed and/or changes in wind direction. Changes in direction could be in the vertical, lateral, or a combination thereof.What causes a hard landing?
Hard landings can be caused by weather conditions, mechanical problems, overweight aircraft, pilot decision and/or pilot error. The term hard landing usually implies that the pilot still has total or partial control over the aircraft, as opposed to an uncontrolled descent into terrain (a crash).How do you control roll on a plane?
Ailerons control roll. On the outer rear edge of each wing, the two ailerons move in opposite directions, up and down, decreasing lift on one wing while increasing it on the other. This causes the airplane to roll to the left or right.How do I make my landings softer?
Don't give up when the main wheels touch down. The airplane will then chirp down in a smooth landing. Hold back pressure all the way through your landing roll, and don't stop flying the airplane until you're ready to shut down.Relationship between ROLL and YAW! | Understanding Roll due to Yaw \u0026 Yaw due to Roll \u0026 Steady Turns!
