DCS: Blackshark joystick's issue

[videopho]

My j/s is a LT Wingman 3d that needs to be recalibrated almost every time after playing this game. Otherwise the chopper just keeps on drifting left or right without touching or moving the j/s.
Sure enough the calibration software indicates it's center is off by so much.
Playing FSx or other flightsims hardly has this issue, granted you need to calibrate your j/s every so often but not every time when playing DCS.
Does it look like a bug in the game to you?
it sure does to me.

You have to set your trim, in fact, I'm surprised you don't do this constantly, during a mission I might do it 12 or more times, you can't fly without it.

I would check the official forums for more info on setting your trim.

Thanks for the input.
Yeah the 'T' key is to calibrate the js center.
Any recommendation for a nicer joy stick than the LT Wingman?

I have my trim mapped to my stick which is an X45/HOTAS *old school Saitek*

Another decent option is the X-52/X-52PRO which is the newer version of what I've got. What I don't like about it is they removed the rocker switch from the HOTAS for the rudder, so it's *twist stick* now, which is a deal breaker for me.

Hopefully they'll come to their senses on the next version. But the X-52 has more buttons and is also a bit easier to program for from what I've heard.
