Something about the realism...

why my slipball is always centered when there is wind? It doesn't seem realistic to me... or not?

well...if you're not in a side slip, it should be centered. Check your basics. Cheers

Have you disabled ALL of the "flight assists?"

Did you check your realism settings in the Option menu?And, if your flying straight/level, maintaining constant power setting, there is no reason not having the ball centered (unless you're not trimmed properly from start), even in crosswind conditions.I didn't mean to sound rude to you. Sorry if it's the case.Cheers

disabled everything... the plane is the stearman, ah... and they forgot to include a rudder trim command?

I have the same with the RV . No right rudder needed on takeoff or when pitching the nose, and rolling into say a 45 degree bank the ball moves for a brief sec and then stays centered with no rudder input at all.

so I guess it's not properly modelled.... hope they will fix it soon

Hmmm; I'm adjusting the rudder trim frequently during a flight.Especially after turns.RB

Yep, on mine too, you have to adjust your viewpoint as its hard to see with the copilot yoke in the way and its fully functional. Just tried it.

sorry, I don't have the Maule.... so maybe on the default planes it's "autotrimming"?? sorry but this is bugging me... I'm used to fly IL2 and you need to keep trimming the rudder when you fly on any plane, and it seems so strange that here you don't need to do it (on the Stearman)
