That did make me laugh
Left hand down a bit!

I
say!
For those with a 'left hand down a bit' Wellington.. the trick to straighten it out is exactly the same. The pilot is offset -2.0 and the nav by -0.8. This is enough to turn the Wellington into a left-hand swinger. I've just reset their positions to the centreline and the Wellington no longer has a 'leaning'
What a
great fix. Cheers fellas

Apart from Leslie Phillips (or was it Jon Pertwee?) climbing to 5000'......
The possible cure to real aircraft was to tape a certain length of cord to one of the ailerons to correct the one wing low syndrome - now I always thought that that was to correct the inadequacies (or inaccuracies) of the jigs, but it could of course have been lateral C of G.....
Anyway glad to be of help.

Glad it all worked out for you, Dave!
I've used similar fixes on multiple FS planes in the past. It works fine when repositioning fuel tanks, too....ie: planes with switchable L & R tanks that can cause unrealistically exaggerated 'out of balance' conditions due to just a few gallons difference in fuel quantities. It is undoubtedly cheating in the academic sense...but then again, it
is just a game...and I don't relish having to constantly trim the wings level just because there's 10 gallons in the L tank and 9.999999 gallons in the R.

The effect of such differences isn't nearly as sensitive in the "real world" as FS. One of those rare cases where two wrongs really
DOES make a right!
