Many RL aerobatics pilots use some amount of ailerons, depending on the aircraft, and on whether it's an inside or outside snap. Usually you want your ailerons to go in the direction of the snap, as a little rolling momentum before the stall will help increase alpha on the dropping wing, which will stall faster.

Fact is that there are aspects in IL2FB that I like very much: propwash, torque and gyroscopic forces are there, shielding effects are modeled (fully forward elevator shields rudder nicely in an upright spin, accelerating it), adverse yaw is there, i can flatten or accelerate/decelerate spins at will.
I have the impression that not much is missing to really allow unlimited style aerobatics. I hope this will be possible, and that the SU26 will be added and functional unlimited-style  |
Wow, neat vid - I wouldn't call that a classic snap roll, though (I'm an old-school old guy). Maybe a competition sorta snap roll thingy - lol.
I had one guy show me how he rolled AWAY from the snap direction to get a quicker stall break - like a Corsair or Hellcat on a doomed-to-the-drink wave-off.
Anyway, some people are saying the propwash effect on the ground for tail planting and steering is less than stellar, but I haven't heard anything about it in flight. Is the adverse yaw consistent between different aircraft types, as some definitely had it worse than others. I was of the opinion the Spit had very little to none, for instance (adverse yaw isn't good for a gun platform). And in most of the planes I've spun (none a dedicated stunter, mind you) forward elevator got me out of the spin quicker than I could notice anything else - lol.
