Without elevator trim most if not all prop planes will be impossible to fly with any degree of accuracy and rudder trim is required all through the speed range with the only exceptions being the 190 and 109 which have flettner tabs.
This would work so that when the left bumper (LB) was held down, the analogue sticks would adjust trim instead of moving the control surfaces.
