Weathervane effect strong?

I had hoped that SU9 had addressed this issue, but after a fair amount of flying it’s still pretty bad.

I find that I have to use so much rudder that as speed increases on the t/o roll out that reverse aileron is necessary to stop the downwind wing from lifting.

With landing I often use a cross-control slip for the final phase to keep runway heading. Which works well for me. The difficulty is you immediately have to switch rudder inputj as soon as the wheels touch. Inertia? Not so much.
