I have no idea how trim was adjusted in real life. I suppose a pilot could always ask the mechanics to adjust it to his personal liking. I would therefore like to ask TD if they would consider changing the trim setting so that "neutral" trim is close to maximal cruise speed rather than to maximal fuel economy cruise speed in the upcoming 4.11 patch.

In cases where a pilot could ask his ground crew to adjust trim before take-off, we should be able to do the same in game. Obviously as you say there's only any need where the aircraft doesn't allow in-flight trim adjustments, but it saves worrying about what we all consider neutral at combat speed - just allow us to adjust trim when the aircraft is on the ground. May not be possible in IL2, but it would be good if it was possible in, er, IL2
