Scarecroweb dealt with the face that there's a bug in there somewhere, obviously. But rudder trim isn't much of a solution because you're trying to counter a rolling tendency. The amount of rudder you have to use adds a fair amount of parasitic drag.

Since MSFS1 developers have been making the concession to the interface devices we have (self-centering joysticks and keyboards), the lack of feedback through the control surfaces to the stick and rudder, and, hell, even the fact that we can't steady our sticks with our knees to perform other tasks, to allow for some degree of trimming up airplanes to reduce pilot workload.

I don't begrudge folks who want to be total realism warriors, but there should be a setting that allows for the use of three-axis trim to reduce workload during cruise, and yet still have torque effects.
