Propwash modelling

[Druid_]

Just wondering is propwash (a.k.a swirl or prop slipstream) effect, specifically over the rudder & elevator surfaces modelled currently?

 

The reason I ask is that currently it doesn't feel as though it is and makes for some interesting manoeuvres at low airspeeds.

This thread was lurking on the first page in the main discussion. Propwash is at least somewhat modeled.

Thanks for that although it doesn't really answer my question (or maybe I should read it a third time). It concentrated mainly on the elevator.

 

Setting rudder trim for take-off is not to reduce rudder forces for take-off but rather to have the aircraft in-trim for climb out. I feel I currently do not have enough rudder applied (especially initially) for take-off and when slow speed manoeuvring it has little to no effect.

 

Try a stall turn at around 60 kts IAS and you will see what I mean.
