The sim is in mode 2, so yaw and throttle on the left stick.

Yes but I was expecting pushing the left stick left to cause the drone to yaw left not right?

The aircraft will yaw left, but your view will also roll right since your camera isn't straight but at an upwards angle.
The sim actually isn't realistic regarding this since the real aircraft has a built-in mix to partly compensate for this but the sim doesn't.

I experienced the same issue when I just started flying in normal manual mode. Both in the DJI sim and in real life. Like kilrah mentioned, in manual mode, you operate yaw and roll with respect to the drone coordinate system. When flying at speed, the drone is tilted almost 45deg forward, so a yaw left is also tilted with this angle, even though your camera may point horizontal (= upward in the drone coordinate system). This gives the impression that the drone rolls to the other side.

My first instinct was to countersteer with the right stick, but that only results in weird flying. You'd best steer with the right stick in the same direction, and as a result the drone will "drift" around the corner, with the thrust pointing down and outside the curve, which is what you want actually.

Edit: corrected normal to manual
