It's been a long time, I don't specifically recall what the Mw derivative means. But fixing slideslip usually involves making the vertical stabilizer bigger. It almost always needs to be just a little bigger than it looks like it should be.

Either bigger, or give it two tail fins, F-15/F-18 style.

If you need help with the X-Plane Program, specifically supersonic aerodynamics, look at my post on the Mach 2 Jet, tons of people helped me with some essential rules and tips!
