I new that only Griphon Spits have their propeller work against the clock(and Tempest) even so, ingame we still have to trim Tempest to the right.

So,Spit trim changed/"corrected" ?
Does,Tempst trim needs to be corrected ?

Thanks

"Transition from Merlin-engined to Griffon-engined Spitfires caused some problems for pilots.

The most common problem was caused by the fact that the Griffon's crankshaft rotated in the opposite direction to that of the Merlin.

This caused the propeller to rotate in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise when observed from the rear, instead of clockwise), resulting in the aircraft tending to swing to the right when takeoff power was applied, instead of the usual swing to the left, which pilots expected from previous experience.

Pilots had to learn to apply left (port) rudder trim on take-off instead of the right (starboard) rudder trim they were used to applying."
