T-45C and Wind Correction?

Anytime I'm flying on autopilot with a decent crosswind the T45 tips to one side, when flying on NAV mode.

Is there a reason it does this?

Your auto pilot is set to nav and homes in on the radio frequency set in the nav radio then you start getting a cross wind and this will push you off course so your auto pilot will correct this so your aircraft will bank slightly to maintain its lock on your nav radio.

If that is true, then FSX is wrong...again. The autopilot should just apply a drift correction in the heading.

ryanbatc are you using rudder peddles or a rudder trim? If the rudder is slightly off from center that can happen. I have seen this on more than one occasion and more than one aircraft. I use a pot as rudder trim. With it I can roll the aircraft level again.
 
I dont know about rudder peddals because I do not use them, useing the aircrafts rudder trim doe's not work with the auto pilot as the auto pilot overrides it, and sorry to have to say this this problem is a FSX quirk and one I went to microsoft with and microsoft came back with the information that I have passed and it is a problem that they are aware of but cannot adddress becuase they disbanded the ace team who developed FSX.
 
No rudder pedals, just a twist stick. Some planes have this behavior, some don't. I just assumed it was a .air file edit or aircraft.cfg entry.
