cannot reproduce Right yaw upon engine seizure

[razo+r]

When the engine seizes, there is a constant right yaw effect present.

 

Easily reproducable, perhaps even related to the P-47 issue?

 

Track attached.

Hi,

 

when I think about this, it should be correct. The rudder is trimmed to the right to counteract the engine torque to relief the pilot. That's what the little red fixed trim tab does on the rudder.

So without the engine there is no torque to counteract and the plane should yaw to the right. In this case the pilot would have to put in left rudder.

If you watch the track, you can see that there is still a constant yaw to the right independant of the speed (it also yaws to the right on stalling). 

 

You can also see it yourself. Jump in a quick flight, overrev the engine until seizing it and then observe.

Are you still seeing this after the hotfix? I just tried to reproduce and I am not seeing it.

Seems to be fixed with the hotfix.
