yes, that's what I'm 'campaigning' for. Obviously, the
aircraft development team (engineers are the lowly folks that actually calculate with numbers and stick prototypes together

) of the Bf-109 took the problem into account and trimmed the plane level in a throttle range of 50-55% (constant prop rpm), as modelled in Il2-1946.
But, as already said, I just can't find a throttle/PP/maybe mixture - combination to go more or less straight ahead (while allowing rudder trim to cancel sideslip, of course) on the hurricane in CoD. It seems to get better at full open throttle and not too coarse PP, but I would project the 'crossover point' at about 140-150% throttle at least...
If I've been just too noobish and somebody *has* found a certain cruise setting, torque-wise, please enlighten me! After all, nobody wants to do a lengthy cruise and then engage the enemy with cramps in his right hand
