I can’t get the wings of the Ju87 parallel to the horizon in level flight. The aircraft has a marked trend to bank to the left, and if I use the rudder trim, aligning the wings to the horizon the aircraft still slightly banks to the left. To keep the course I must trim until the wings lean a few degrees on the right, and so the aircraft flyies straight. Has anybody else noticed this strange behaviour?

Not that I am an experienced Ju 87 pilot, but I took it for a ride after TF 4.0 and haven't seen any problems. I made a whole sortie (got shot down after hitting the target) and could fly it normally. I used a little aileron trim and maintained sideslip with the rudder pedals (no rudder trim mapped for me). Maybe I was just compensating with the stick, but I don't think so.

I have had this happen with my X-52 Pro where the stick isn't centered when I start my computer or the game and it just assumes the current stick's position is the actual center - I removed the smaller centering spring. Than the planes tend to nose down, nose up, bank to one side... centering and unplugging the cable works to correct this.

yes it leans to the left, that's a result of the last official patch before TF took over. prior to that it was level.

Yep, the last official patch changed the aileron trim; not sure if it was intentional or not.
