The main issue isn’t the torque it isn’t the rudder or even the ailerons. The incident all stems from the elevator, as soon as the nose pulls up he was pretty much doomed. 

After the pitch up the pilot has no control, the only one that has any effect is when the elevator is pushed forward but by then it is too late. Watch the last video, slowed down it is pretty clear.

Torque related accidents occur when the throttle is opened at low speed and it is the sudden increase coupled with the lack of authority from control surfaces which lead to an accident. That is not the case here.

 

It is as if you are desperately wishing the existence of torque away despite plain evidence. 
 

Don’t worry. The Corsair will not be modeled with real world levels of torque. They know their audience and its expectations.

The pilot mistake is not enough right rudder to counteract the torque of the engine, resulting in a strong left yaw as soon as he was off the deck and things go downhill from there. 
 

If there was no engine torque, he doesn’t die. 
 

 

You’re mixing up torque with P-factor and downwash effects. Torque is a rotational moment generated as a reaction to the propeller’s swirling air mass (according to the conservation of angular momentum), which creates a leftward rolling moment on the aircraft. Right rudder is primarily applied to counteract yaw caused by P-factor and downwash effects, not torque itself. At positive angles of attack (AoA), the P-factor creates a leftward yaw and positive pitch moment by increasing AoA on the descending blade, becoming more pronounced with increased speed due to differential airflow over the propeller blades.

Downwash is more influential at low speeds , decreasing as speed increases. Meanwhile, P-factor takes effect once there is sufficient speed and high AoA to cause noticeable local AoA changes on the propeller blades. Overall, the interaction of these forces and their impact on rudder trim requirements are clearly visible in trim diagrams.

Torque itself requires very slight ailerons input.

Naw, when I say torque I very obviously mean the entire menu of effects from an engine swinging a prop.

 

P-factor, precession, rotating airflow, asymmetric downwash and the voodoo that you do. 
 

Even in the weakest motor airplane, torque ( and all of the other effects previously mentioned or not) is a constant presence that must be accounted for all the time. 
 

Anyone who has actually flown a high powered prop aircraft knows DCS is largely wrong in this because you don’t need to trim very much at all in DCS props (admittedly to varying degrees across modules)

Anyway, this conversation is tiresome and pointless, as no one here is interested in how it should be. 
 

I’m a dot. AMF.

Negative sir, YOU HAVE to trim it at every power change. And, finally, you have to prove that DCS P-51 or any other prop plane have very different trim curves from the curves that were recorded for the real plane.
And only these graphs give adequate information, how it should be.
