By reference to black shark I meant only that the press of a button would set the current position of elevator as no force position, so that when I let the stick immediately to the neutral position, the plane will not pull up but fly as few seconds before. No automation. I have CPL/IR and I must say that the way it is now is rather realistic, but if you are using only keyboard presses, it takes much longer time to trim than in RL, when you know the plane you are flying.
