I'd always thought the rotary on a Camel pulled the machine to the right, and that the Camel was tail heavy. *But on the "realistic" flight model with RB my Camel is nose heavy and is pulled to the left! *I've got Wingman Extreme joystick. *Anyone know of a cure, or am I wrong and the flight model correct?

Cheers ???

no, your correct, the camel turned better to the right than left due to gyro precession and all the wieght massed around the centerline... tail heavy due to the short nose moment of radial/rotory style aircraft.

the RB3 model isnt perfect, so its got quirks. even dawn of aces, Flying circus dont model ALL of the little quirks the real ones do.... im not sure about Flying corps gold.....

its older technology, so just go with it till hopefully somebody someday does RB4 or the like with a better flight model engine....

even the ww2 sims dont go full into every single little quirk...something alot of ww1 and ww2 'simmers' just cant grasp due to technology in computer sims....

Yep I noticed the same.In Flying Corps Gold the Camel is tail heavy but also turns to the left ( in FCG all the propeller blades of the aircraft turn to the left for some reason ).
