You're not helping.

You have correctly understood that aircraft could be pre trimmed on the ground, even though your understanding is limited to the Spitfire. However, this has never been a part of il-2. If you want that different, make a feature request, posting in a Spit FM topic is a waste of time.

Currently the aileron pre trim is that the plane can fly hands off stick with no slip in a shallow climb. It requires a little slip to fly straight and level hands off stick over most of the speed range. Your personal preference is different. Tough luck. That's all there is to it.

If you've never heard about aileron reversal in Spitfires, that's probably what you should research next. Don't waste it on researching individual Spitfire aileron trim settings, 20000 have been built, flown by lots of different pilots under lots of different circumstances, each with individual trim settings. Posting slip free hands off stick speed range for individual planes is therefore meaningless.
