G'day, old time user, long break due to work committments, reloaded Oolite and my favourite addons. Now I have a problem, been unable to resolve so far.
When I launch from station, I get flight drift, nose up, using keyboard, no joystick. I have deleted, reloaded, and still the same problem. Any hints welcome. Not sure to know where to start looking.

Welcome back, commander!
Is your mouse active? You could try clicking the right mouse button to null out any movement.

Laptop has touchpad. I have tried right click as well as M to turn it off - no luck, same problem

So it's only pitch that is affected and in one direction only? Can you try reassigning the pitch key corresponding to the problem to some other key and see if this persists?

Yes, nose drifts up, needs constant correction with down arrow key. Will give reassignment a go, thanks for the suggestion.
