Fixing Roll

[BlackbusheFlyer]

Yes it is torque, however the effect is a little exaggerated at cruise I think. Be good if the effect curve was slightly less steep as at say 50% power there is still quite a roll more akin to full power in my opinion. Most aircraft have bendable trim tabs on the ailerons that the engineer can adjust to balance the aircraft for the cruise.

Trim the ruder (ctrl + Z or X) some of them are misplaced from the central position.

Trimming the rudder has no or little effect on the right wing dipping

And its like i said befor, if i was a spit pilot, and this was fixable i would land and tell my crew to bloody sort it out

It works 100% for me at stopping the right wing dropping.

Also certainly on the hurricane by default the rudder is trimmed slightly to the right ergo educing some RH role.

You do know you don’t need ailerons and can fly with the other 2 axis.

Only if you don't have to much yaw coupled roll, and generally only if you aren't to concerned about line of flight intersecting the earth. One of the Wright Brothers' big innovation was roll control, which was kind of important.

Generally if you trim the rudder enough to completely counter-act torque you will end up side-slipping through the air. In real life the pilots wouldn't have noticed it as much as we do since there isn't nearly as much of a centering force on the stick. That is to say, the amount of left stick you would have to give it to counteract the torque wouldn't feel much different than holding the stick dead center. After holding it for a long time that would just seem like center to you. At least, this has been my experience since removing the centering spring on my stick.

Cable ties on your joystick spring helps wonders. Great on my x52 pro!

well i have my rudder trim set to my warthog second throttle, rudder trim works ok,
but it dont stop the right wing from dropping
so what am i doing wrong?

torque and gyroscopic progression will want to roll the plane opposite direction to the rotation of the prop.
remember that the wings don't provide a stable solid surface, lika a road does (even revving a car engine will make the car lurch a bit to one side) and the aelirons don't have trim tabs, like all later model planes do

trimming the rudder to try and correct the roll will make things a bit worse, because it will make the plane travel crabbed.

Trim the elevator to take away the need (but won't totally remove) to pull back constantly and hold the stick to whichever side the plane rolling from... if it rolls left, hold the stick to the right
