F4E controls

I’m not sure where to put this so here it sits. I’ve noticed something different about the US F-4E exclusively that no other Phantom seems to share, when using mouse as stick in Sim, SAS in any of the 3 modes, the F-4E has no self leveling feature.

I do not mean SAS Self level, in fact the self level doesn’t seem to work whatsoever. I mean if you put the dot left or right of center, the jet will continue to roll unhindered by any artificial leveling the game offer to other jets.
Perhaps more clarity, if rolled inverted, the F-4E will not right itself as all other do.

Is this something I did on my end that I am not aware of? One of the games 10,001 control options scattered over so many tabs in not so obvious places or is this unique to the F-4E and if so, why?

the F-4 has manual control surfaces so it isnt completely stable and likes to pitch up and down (depending on your speed), i usually just trim my elevators little bit if i want level flight :)

This is a very common problem, many aircraft in the game are forbidden to use trim when the damper is enabled. This is stupid.
