In real world, there’s also the “backside of the power curve”. That is, under a certain speed (usually 1.3 times the power off stall speed), fly slower requires more power, until power on stall is reached.
I understand that recreate correct trim behaviour is not easy in a sim.
For example, attitude should change noticeably with flaps extension, with nose going down for a steeper glide path.
For trimming, I believe that the best solution would be to link it to speed, making the plane seeking to keep it, descending, climbing or maintaining speed with power variations without any other control input. That speed should appear as momentary text with power setting.
Something like:
Power: 75%
Trim speed 220 km/h.
The beauty of this solution would be that you’ll end up to use realistically the trim to obtain the speed you want: best climb angle speed, best rate of climb speed, best endurance cruise, best range cruise, all of these speed being listed in any aircraft pilot’s manual.
Perhaps we should suggest this solution for Team Daidalos’ consideration...
