Flat turn

If you are cross controlling and thus generating sideslip there will be an aerodynamic side force on the airplane. The classic forward slip involves dipping the up-wind wing to keep the flight path from turning.

If in a slip the wings are held level, the side force will cause a flat turn. The ball will be off center.
