Does she fly balanced at cruise?

[Dirty Rotten Flieger]

So I believe the german planes are supposed to fly straight and level at max continuous power at sea level with balanced controls. No input required.

 

When the dora came out it required constant aileron input to fly straight and level. It may seem like nitpicking but we can't adjust the aileron trim tabs to balance the plane so it was a little annoying knowing that historically they designed them to balance at cruise. Till I found out we could mod the aileron trim tabs and fix the problem.

 

I appreciate the german engineers designing a plane that is balanced at cruise and doesn't need rudder trim or constant pressure on the stick.

 

Is K4 is released with historical balanced trim at cruise?

Yes she does :)

 

Balanced in roll and pitch. Very harmonious.

Oh thanks for replying! happy to hear it. I'll buy it as soon as I can. It may seem like small thing, but it really put me off flying the dora.

Have you tried "my" aileron trim tab MOD for the Dora?

 

BTW, this K4 is beautifully trimmed for cruise! No need to touch the trim tabs until now...

No need for the mod now. It's a done deal in latest patches

Well, not quite like so, after all, but we did get back that LUS script to fine tune it like in the Dora, although presently it is not having effect - yesterday I changed the values myself, and noticed no diferences in the right rolling tendency at cruise settings...
