I can understand some you are saying, But, this is how its ment to be, well if i was flying these fighter in relal life then i would bloody land and tell my crew to sort it out

Can we get any offical word from the makers, that this is how its meant to be or
is there a problem?

I have just tested all fighters in this game, and every one dips to the right constantly.
Tested the bomber and they are ok.....
In real life it is effortless to trim a plane out, in fact I do it without thinking about it. In a simulator however it's much more difficult as there is no 'feel'. The effect is very much real though. Many aerobatic types with large power plants and sizable props often need constant rudder to counter the P factor.

A twin prop usually has contra rotating props which counteract yaw so you should notice no right turn tendancy.

What I do is keep on a bit of rudder, as trimming in either FSX or IL2 is a bit like chasing your own tail. In a real plane I can hold an altitude to 20 ft or so and a heading to a couple of degrees, in all but the most turbulent conditions. In a sim I am much less accurate. With practice you should get to know how much rudder pressure to hold for a given power setting. Hope that helps.
