I meant that the wing doesn't rise as it would in older types I have flown if you just rudder it straight (into wind wing giving more lift than downwind wing due to greater speed).

The fbw keeps the wings level.

However, I tended to put the wing down as I decrabbed since it's very difficult to change the habit of a lifetime.

In strong crosswinds, on takeoff, the thing will sometimes shout "bank angle" just after lift off if you use the wing down technique and are a bit slow to level the wings.
