Photo 3 - something happened to my sim after Roxburgh, I spent the rest of the trip flying at this angle. Turned weather off - still the same problem. Landed in a field to retry and fix, but still the same problem.

Sorry to hold you guys up with my connection woes. Really weird. Everything that I have read or watched indicates that I am setting it up correctly.
Great fun otherwise.

Worked out why my plane was on a lean. The rudder was stuck hard left. You can see it in some of my screenshots. Happened again today, but in MSFS 2024.
