Yes, it is.

On british aircraft it's labeled "Sideslip" and it's a combined instrument on the low right side of the cockpit.

On other aircraft it's your typical ball and stick turn coordinator.

If you are playing with your HUD view, the flight path marker (the little plane symbol on the center of the view) indicates the true vector os the airplane's motion. If you are flying straight and level and no rudder input is applied, the symbol should drift to the right (see p-factor). Just fiddle around with the rudder to keep the gunsight and the flight path marker centered. Usually, a tiny bit of right rudder does the trick.
