Default Spitfire Aileron Bug - Plz check!

Hi friends,

I noticed a bug in Spitfire aileron long time ago and had discussed with pilots from my squadron, all confirmed.

I feel the Spitfire flying with a significant "side slip", even if trimmed it doesnt flight straigh (dont consider wind...).

When we are on land, both ailerons are at neutral positions, but after takeoff the ailerons move a little, rolling do right side.
We can notice that looking to right wing aileron, who will be a "little up".

Tested what this can affect the flight: with fuel cock off and prop pitch set to 0 (no torque) the plane keeps rolling right!

The image below shows the bug.



Please check this and, if comfirmed, let's report this bug to be fixed!

Thx,
