Spitfire Aileron Bug - Plz check!

[Bluesman]

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,

Rudder trim?

where is the bug again? I didn't understand this... :-/

Aileron deflection is probably the effect of trimmer at higher speed. The higher the speed, the more deflection aileron should get. Aircrafts are pre-trimmed at spawn AFAIK.

I've seen this too, but just assumed it was the pre-set trim and the instability of the Spitfire flight dynamics.

Hi,

Sorry about my bad english... its hard to understand!

But Spitfire dont have aileron trim, only rudder and elevator...
Im not expert, but I think if it was a "pre trim" it could be verified on land.

This "bug" is not velocity dependent, it occurs when u leave ground.
If we set all trims to neutral, engine off and prop pitch 0 the aircraft rolls to right. When I compensate the aileron with joystick, forcing to a "neutral" position, the plane flight straight how desirable.
