Well, after playing around with the A5, I got back to my old ride, the G10.
Something has happened. Maybe it is the prop drag, but I couldn't imagine it would make it behave like that. of course, I am not an aeronautical engineer, so I am probably wrong.
Every time I pull back on the stick and then lets go, the aircraft veers down 8as it should) and *to the left*. It is most prevalent when you're close to stall. but is always there and throws my aim off every time.
Anyone know if this is extra realism added in, or a bug in the FM caused by some to me unknown thing (if it ain't prop drag)?
With the Jug now in, I certainly don't need this verring left (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

hmmm, sounds like all that extra prop drag is slowing ya down and letting the torque and p-factor pull ya to the left...(kinda like when your on your takeoff roll)
this pulling should be strongest when at:
low speed, high angle of attack, and high throttle settings... sounds like a match to me...
in theory, this should affect all planes with it being more noticable, the higher your engines horsepower is....

Its for sure affects P51. Cant pull at low speed as I could before 1.03.

Sounds like gyroscopic effects maybe?

I noticed that too StSanta and in the other 109's too. But as stated above me, I took it for an efect caused by the propdrag or new implemented gyro-effects. Any way nothing that can't be handled with a little rudder input. Just need to practise it a bit.

Snefens, it is very pronounced in the 109G10. It also has the beiggest engine, but it it out of proportion with the engine size if you know what I mean.The other aircraft it is almost unnoticeable in.
You'll also find it if you poush stick forward, even if you do it gently. Same with gentle turns. It's b*tch now that you have to track enemy and if you pull up for a lead shot and let the bullets walk over the enemy (which means you ease the pressure a bit on the stick), your aim is off.
Haven't been able to compensate for it with rudders, as it happens too fast. If I try, I just throw the aim off the other way half a second later
I'll ask in the bug forum, just to be sure.
