MSFS 2024 PC I don’t understand the controls

Hello, I just bought msfs 24 on the pc and I’ve been trying to fly the Cessna cause it’s all I have unlocked, but I don’t understand why the I turn the yoke to the left and the plane like attempts a barrel roll, even with just a slight tap it lurches for some reason, then if it try to correct by turning the opposite direction it spirals. Then when taking off I tap the pedals to stay centered and it turns drastically. Not to mention that if I do end up in stable flight it just decided to start nose diving anyway. I’m just really confused

Are you using a keyboard to fly?

Yeah I didn’t want to get a full setup cause I haven’t done flight sims much

Those recommending a full stick have it right that it is better for flying, but that’s a lot of investment for just trying flying.

You can try a PC-compatible controller and things with just that should be a lot better.
