Referring to the Team Fusion Wikileaks, the Spitfire 1a 100 octane's cruise parameters are 2700 rpm @ 3 lbs boost.
I did a trial each in the following sims/Spits. Each trial was conducted at low altitude (2000 - 4000 ft). I would adjust rpms (prop pitch) and boost (throttle) to desired parameters (cruise, then combat), adjust elevator and rudder trim for level altitude and zero yaw, then release the stick. Please note that the forcefeedback effects with my Sidewinder 2 joystick may give a different response upon release to what a conventional joystick which automatically centers would give.
1) Cliffs of Dover TF 4.312: Spitfire 1a 100 octane at cruise and full combat (3000 rpm @ 12 lbs boost)
Results upon releasing stick:
Cruise - gentle roll to the right
Combat - dead steady
2) A2A FSX Spitfire 2a (more closely modelled to the Clod 1a 100 octane).
Results upon releasing the stick:
Cruise - dead steady, no roll
Combat - dead steady, no roll
3) DCS Spitfire IX (just for shitzen giggles)
Results upon releasing stick:
Cruise - strong roll to the right resulting in spin
Combat - strong roll to the right resulting in spin
note: it is very difficult to correctly adjust neutral trim in this Spit; full down elevator trim still has this Spitfire trying to climb even at cruise settings, requiring constant forward pressure of the stick even with full downward elevator trim dialed in. Rudder trim is mushy and imprecise to dial in compared to the Cliffs of Dover Spitfire 1a 100 octane and A2A Spitfire 2a.
