I think what the man wants is the ability to manually change the trim on the ground, bending trim tabs etc. So the plane whilst in 'cruise' speed is trimmed neutral in roll. On most early war planes this 'is' the historic way to do it Only here it seems planes are set with no counter trim at all, which is 'not' historic. Fixed trim counters the 'average' of the torque effect. Therefore with engine off you roll right slightly, engine on you roll left slightly, rather than all left, all the time.
However, I can find no evidence of trim tabs on Hurri ailerons, I also found the below document confirms the stick was needing to be held to the right a lot of the time.
I am concerned about adverse Yaw, and below I have the document to reference it @ 12 deg. Feels like we are seeing more in game just not sure how we measure that?
------------------------------------------
Memorandum report Army Airforces Material Command.
Measurement of the flying qualities of a Hawker Hurricane airplane.
Points of interest.
Ailerons we asymmetric in application as follows:
Right
21.5 down, 20.6 up
Left
19.2 down 22.4 up
Found this quantification of the adverse yaw:
The maximum angle of yaw due to full application of the ailerons was 12deg.
Effects of yaw on roll were minimal.
If anyone needs the document I have a copy.
