However, a positive static lateral stability is not a sufficient condition to produce also a stable spiral mode. The effect seems to be more pronounced in X-Plane aircrafts. This is the common behaviour of FSX and X-Plane aircrafts. sideslips yawing the nose to the right, then it tends to roll right, and vice-versa. Static lateral stability means that if the aircraft e.g. I think it's important not to confuse static lateral stability with spiral dynamics. I think that flight simulators either use the 'blade' approach but really do not take into consideration all of the moments created by the various lift and drag generation surfaces, or do not model them correctly, or when using the so called 'table-based' approach, use certain coefficients that are innapropriate, or the authors tune those to get some effects better modeled, causing weird behaviour on others. Just as a complement, and with a very well written set of 'Course Notes' I strongly recommend visiting:ДЄnd in line with this particular thread what is discussed regarding directional stability in this particular Note:

At 45Вє+ bank I sometimes have to use almost full outside aileron in some of them! Of course overbanking is my 'daily' experience in gliders. This being said, I guess that Lena probably considered I was referring to coordinated turns, and in that case she is right in what she points out because indeed if rudder is used during a tighter turn to coordinate it, and we do not use only the yoke, creating a sideslip, overbanking will occur and require outside yoke deflection. I just ordered a GNS and Throttle Quadrant from ELITE ( Swiss ) and am witing for delivery and taxes I'll have to pay on top of the already expensive hardware, and I am planning to invest on their yoke too, because I'll be able to use it with ELITE and PSX :-) The radio stack is still a dream.Д®LITE provides me with that stability you mentioned Bruce, like no other FSX or X-Plane model I have tried indeed. I am also starting to invest on better hardware, but it's very expensive. That's my experience too in many flights in th R models, not as a pilot, because I only own a GPL ( now EASA :-( ) but as someone many times allowed to actually fly the aircraft by my airclub fellows. Thx Bruce for your additional comments from RL experience flying the 172S, just like Larry.
