When flying tiny little planes in the sim, I normally put two passengers up front to avoid the asymetric loads. However, that is sort of cheating if you are flying alone.
So a plane like the Cherokee (at least in the sim, perhaps incorrectly), with only a pilot, wants to roll to the left. I think this plane only has rudder trim. So I can trim it out, for wings level, but then I'm flying at a slight crab angle.
Putting aside the issue of engine out situations in multi-engine planes, what is the proper use of Rudder, and or Aileron trim? Should I simply be trying to level the wings, or should I be trying to center the ball too? I never can manage to do both it seems. I'm sort of embarrassed to ask because I've been simming for so damned long, it sounds like such a basic issue to not know...
