Default Coordinated turns without rudder, and autopilots

Well figure it out- you've been wasting all of this bandwith stating that
MSFS does a coordinated turn with the AP, and now you're saying that the
ball is not centered when you make a turn?


Not perfectly centered, but more so than it is when I try it, it seems.

The simulation is grossly inaccurate in many aspects, and I have tried it
extensively.


With the default Baron?

It's main value may be to practice instrument approach
procedures, but the flight model, inability to recreate the "feel" of
flying, are lacking, which is no surprise since it is not a multimillion
dollar full motion sim.


Full-motion sims have drawbacks, too.

The Extra model is pathetically weak- the roll rate, stall characteristics,
ability to spin and tumble are non existent.


I don't think the Extra model is intended to be serious, any more than the
Wright Flyer.
