The reason for lateral trimming of an aircraft is largely related to the gyroscopic effect of the prop. At high revs it will cause the tendency to slowly drop a wing. Too prove the point, try reducing prop RPM and manifold pressure to a slow cruise and you will find the rudder input required to maintain straight and level flight is reduced.
To solve this most pilots either hold a little rudder or preferably tweak the rudder trim. Bare in mind, every change of RPM/Man Pressure will require re-trimming the aircraft, Power, Attitude, Trim is handy to remember.
It's the way it works in the real world.

So rare to find a man who knows his stuff in this world
It's like belting your head against a brick wall trying to explain this, so few programmers seemed to understand it in the past. Hopefully IL2 staff understand the concept of wind as a moving box of air
