In the SDK Docs, under "Flight Model Definition" / "Step 9: Advanced engine effects" we can read on the "Propeller wash vortex" subsection:
"In order to compensate for the induced yaw moment at cruise speed, we will automatically add a 0.45° deflection of the rudder."
and further down...
"The automatic 0.45° deflection of the rudder won’t be enough to counter the prop wash effect however, and the definition of the one other engine effects will be necessary. The torque on roll effect. Indeed, by making the propeller turn, there is a rotational friction that is caused that makes the plane roll in the opposite direction. We recommend setting the torque on roll effect to 1 first and then to adjust it slightly so that the aircraft does not roll or yaw sideways at cruise speed with cruise power."
I wonder if this is true irrespective of "auto rudder / take off rudder assistance" being disabled in the assistances piloting options menu ?
If not, why the heck did they do it ? Bummer :-/
