Well I got pedals, but I am not seeing this roll as an issue of discomfort for me or anyone else, but I tend to think: would they build a fighter, that was supposedly very easy and pleasant to fly, and yet make him need control inputs throughout the flight?

Come on, which other plane in IL-2 needs constant control input at cruise conditions? I-16?

Now I really miss my "Spitfire Story" book that is back in my home country, but even in wiki you can find some things like this:

Quote:
...After a thorough pre-flight check I would take off and, once at circuit height, I would trim the aircraft and try to get her to fly straight and level with hands off the stick ... Once the trim was satisfactory I would take the Spitfire up in a full-throttle climb at 2,850 rpm to the rated altitude of one or both supercharger blowers...
Edit: If TD finds the little tests I posted earlier useful, it would be great; otherwise I really don't want to bother here anymore with people who don't read whole posts, and just reply based on some keywords that tick them off.
