The Hurricane rudder in CloD is adjusted, in centered position, a bit to right.

Pictures with F8 camera view. Rudder and rudder trim centered.
In right a Spitfire, with a centered rudder.

This is easy to notice if you put the plane in Autopilot, the camera in F8 and then disable the Autopilot, the rudder goes right.

This make difficult trim the plane to "hands off" flight like we do in Spitfire (a crab flight, of course, as IRL ;) ).

You can counter this with key commands (Need assign key to this in Aircraft).

"Right (or left) rudder one notch".

Two or tree taps to left put Hurri "on rails".

The downsize of this - besides probable speed penalty - is that every time you use joystick rudder (pedal or twist) this adjust is zeroed and rudder goes right (centered position for game).

People with rudder pedal with programing software - CH, Saitek(?) can made a profile for Hurricane with a off-center adjust to compensate this.

This Hurricane rudder adjust to right is "historical"?
In the first version of the game the Blenheim suffer a similar problem, now its centered rudder is centered. :)

Hi Lokos,

This seems like something I've had crop up once in awhile, too, but in Spits. It may be a glitch in the game, because in my situation I've been able to "straighten" the rudder by simply doing a recalibration of my rudder pedals in Windows. It hasn't happened to me in some time, though. I've not had this happen in ROF, DCS P51D, nor A2A WOP3 Spitfire 1a/2a, leading me to thing it's a Clod-only phenomenon. Your work around sounds quite effective.
