Help!! My ship keeps rotating to the left

are you using a joy stick or game pad, if so have you calibrated it correctly, is it sticking to left?
I had something like this happen last night. I had to remove the rotational control on my throttle in the options to stop it from happening. I use a X55 on a non powered USB hub. I moved the USB plug to a USB 3 slot in the hopes it would solve my problems but this one popped up last night.
Check your control setup, what is configures to be roll axis, or roll left key. If it is key, change it to another one to check whether it is keyboard. If it is mouse, un-set it and put it as key. If it is joystick, you might want to re-calibrate and if that does not help you could add some dead zone (or what was that name).
Are you playing with an analogue stick? This happened to me when I had something resting against my stick when I turned the computer on; it was gently pushing on the stick, making it off centre.
It takes where the stick is at when it powers up to be zero, so when you centre it, it reads it as being off to one side. Unplug the joystick and pluf it back in and all should be well.

Aye I started getting this (I've Thrustmaster T Flight X) works fine with other games. I've re-calibrated and checked the analogue/digital settings but still get it?
Worked fine all through Beta/Gamma.
I've tried damping down using the dead space but it still keeps drifting left and the yaw is hopeless with the dead space setting higher than say 20%.
Hoping its not the switches in the stick twist itself. Stick only a year old? Anyone any ideas?

Go into options, controller, and add a deadzone, only a small one, I had the same issue until I realised it was the controller and Elite that are very sensitive.
I had the same issue with the yaw on my Cyborg X at the weekend, I was in the middle of combat and it started to intermittently yaw to the right.
I took it apart and it looked ok, but then I found that one of the wires going to the yaw potentiomenter was loose, and only being held in contact most of the time by a nearby blob of glue.
These wires are probably the ones that get moved around the most, and are very fine, so I guess it might be a common type of failure and probably worth checking that everything is solid.

I have similar problems all the time, but i know exactly what is causing it.. Bits of debris that gets stuck under the keyboard (as i have roll assigned to A & D)
Well as a workaround I've put the deadzone bar in the options to 4 times to the left and now it stopped rotating. But I can't imagine how I should fight with this now... Probably I have to open the Joystick and have a look at the hardware as Commander Bloomoo proposed (even though I have no knowledge about this topic, I built a network cable once but that's it :|)
