I've just re-read the entire thread and I am now more confused than before. Can someone just explain what is causing the Hurricane FM to roll clockwise? Please don't say torque because the prop spins clockwise.
If it is gyroscopic precession then how did WW2 pilots manage to trim their aircraft for hands-free straight and level flight as quoted in this thread. Or didn't they? If the answer is rudder trim then the FM is wrong since you can only eliminate roll by using excessive rudder trim which causes side-slipping.
In IL-2 1946 you could use Hurricane's elevator and rudder trim for straight and level flight, no roll. In CoD you can't (well I can't, anyway). Which is correct?
