No, it does not.

You can trim the aircraft, so that it does not immediately crash or change course if you let the stick go.

However, especially due to the effects of the propeller, it will relatively quickly start changing the course again, even if you trimmed it out once.

You constantly have to give small inputs and adjust the trim during flight. If you let it go, you will crash fairly quickly. Which also makes it very challenging to fly in zero/low visibility conditions if you are not constantly paying attention to your instruments.

LoL, just bought a campaign, even cannot get it off the ground. Trimming pedals, when pushing left the plane tends to turn right.

Anyone got a lua for his fav crosswind v3 set?

Check your axis/keybinds and invert them if needed.

If i look at the movements in arcade (F4) view the rudder moves OK, and i tried different tuning shapes. Take off etc works OK, but that friggin' rudder drives me nutz.
