Eduardo, it would be helpful to mention which aircraft you're flying. What you don't realize but others here have alluded to, each type of aircraft in this game is set up quite differently to each other, as the real aircraft are. For instance, the Spitfires and Hurricanes pull to the left in this game exactly as the real aircraft do. These two aircraft models do not have adjustable aileron trim in the cockpit, but you can dial in right rudder trim to keep the nose straight and help take the pressure off the right rudder control that you're exerting with your leg. Any change to rudder trim that you make will likely introduce a bit of yaw which will in turn slightly change your aircraft's lift -- meaning you will have to make an adjustment to your elevator trim to maintain level flight (or to maintain the rate of climb or descent that you desire). Similarly, changes in your throttle, pitch, and even mixture controls will change the aerodynamics of your aircraft, resulting in further adjustments required to your trim. Even as your gas gets consumed during your flight will cause even MORE adjustments to trim as your plane gets lighter. Whew! Who knew? LOL

This is 100% normal. Pilots were almost constantly adjusting their trim controls to the point of not even thinking about it -- it just became reflexive. You don't read about it much, but it was a necessary fact of life for fighter and bomber pilots. If you can, assign a joystick or throttle hat to handle the trim controls as most of us do. They will arguably become the busiest controls you have.

The 109 didn't have in cockpit adjustable rudder trim. I'll leave it to the more experienced and qualified 109 CoD pilots to carry this discussion further with you.
