No dihedral effect. Both tanks full / two equal weight pilot/passenger / level flight established.
Entered 30 degree bank, level turn.
Aircraft stays in 30 degree bank and will not return to level without yoke input.
Certified private pilot. Trained in Piper Warrior.
Conclusion: There is no dihedral effect in your Cherokee. Please fix.
Slightly disappointed as this problem makes ifr flight more difficult.

Re: Cherokee
Hello,
Please can you let us know which platform this is for and also how you have your simulation setup for example all settings set as stated in the manual.
Also have you updated to the latest update?
And lastly please can I ask that next time you post in the cherokee forums. I'll move your thread to the correct place.
Thanks,
Lewis

As we have said countless times on this forum "It's not a bug, it's a feature."
If there was no dihedral effect in a low wing design, like the Cherokee, simple physics say it would continue into the turn and steepen because of the shift of the center of gravity to the side. The fact that it stays in the turn, is proof the dihedral effect is working. This is the way Piper engineered the Cherokee.
I rendered a portion of one of our flight tests and uploaded it here so you can see how the plane naturally behaves in a turn:

Re: Cherokee
In all the small aircraft I know, a 30 degree bank with probably be neutral to slightly steepen on its own.
