Guys, in real life aircraft spend most of there time side-slipping to some degree because in the slightest lateral wind they require to counter side-slip in order to fly the correct course over ground in order to end up at there intended destination, a ~2m/sec wind at 90deg to your direction of travel will put you ~7.2km off course after 1 hour.
As I have said the rudder trim of most aircraft is misplaced to the right of centre thus requiring you to add to add left hand rudder trim to centre it and to stop the constant role to the right, if you don’t believe me put a plane on the ground in the FMB (ju87 is a good e.g.) hit the F8 view which is directly behind the plane and LOOK at the rudder closely, you will see more of the left side of the rudder than the right side of the rudder indicating that the rudder WILL educe RH role and side-slip as the tail will go to the left, if you unplug you joystick so only the keyboard is active it will be apparent, if you look from above you will also see the rudder also has MORE RH throw than LH throw which can also only happen is the trim is misplaced to the right of centre!
As I have said it works perfectly for me in stopping the constant RH role (WHICH IS NOT FROM TORQUE)
