right wing keeps dipping down

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

there are options for keys or axes to use for trimming plus options for up 1 notch down 1 notch or level .im a complete beginner in trimming so which do you use and do you have to do it all through the flying,also my ch fighterstick in IL2 the wheels on the base let you trim the aileron and nose etc but this doesnt seem to work on this 1, also the wheels when i try to assign say its the same axes for ailerons so no seperate function,didnt do that with il2?
thanks lot of questions i know lol

Yes, you do need to maintain trim during flight as flight conditions change if you want your aircraft 'hands free' (i.e. so that you don't have to apply constant input pressures).

Trim wheels are much better than button clicks for fine trimming. I use a G940 and in the axes tab of the controls config was able to assign three trim wheels from the main stick to the three trim axes. Unless there is a specific issue with CH support, I would assume the method is the same and just double click the trim you want to assign on the right and then move the corresponding trim wheel on the stick. I did have to recalibrate the wheels first.

Likewise, out of the box, I had weird pedal assignment and just had to ensure that each control axes was assigned correctly in the same way. Somehow I had a throttle wheel assigned to rudder.

Well i think, that this is not right, ive seen some vids of other user flying cod, and there aircraft control is almost rock steady, but no matter what i try, these planes always want to dip, turn right, this sim should not be this hard to control
I can understand some you are saying, But, this is how its ment to be, well if i was flying these fighter in relal life then i would bloody land and tell my crew to sort it out

Can we get any offical word from the makers, that this is how its meant to be or
is there a problem?

I have just tested all fighters in this game, and every one dips to the right constantly.
Tested the bomber and they are ok.....

In real life it is effortless to trim a plane out, in fact I do it without thinking about it. In a simulator however it's much more difficult as there is no 'feel'. The effect is very much real though. Many aerobatic types with large power plants and sizable props often need constant rudder to counter the P factor.

A twin prop usually has contra rotating props which counteract yaw so you should notice no right turn tendancy.

What I do is keep on a bit of rudder, as trimming in either FSX or IL2 is a bit like chasing your own tail. In a real plane I can hold an altitude to 20 ft or so and a heading to a couple of degrees, in all but the most turbulent conditions. In a sim I am much less accurate. With practice you should get to know how much rudder pressure to hold for a given power setting. Hope that helps.
