Default hovering from the side?

I've had to put my first heli purchase on hold for a few months since I'm about to move into a new house, but I've been practicing on G2 in the meantime. Back in the fall I spent a lot of sim time learning to hover and do forward flight. I got caught up in other things, and have come back to the sim lately. I hadn't really lost anything other than fine hovering control. Here's my problem. Tail in, nose in, and 45* oblique tail in or out are natural to me now, and I immediately give the right input to stop drfit or move the heli how I want. Same with looking directly at the left sid of the heli. But when I try to hover looking at the right side, I can barely control the dang thing. I have to actively THINK about what input to give.[] I'm sure, with practice, I'll get past it. Anyone else have similar experience when learning? I dunno, I just thought it seemed odd that nose-in is second nature, but one specific lateral orientation should give me so much trouble.
