Heh heh, this reminds me of one my favorite jokes.
Q. "How can you tell if there's a pilot with you in a elevator?"
A: "He'll tell you."
To answer
your question, though; I am a certificated flight instructor and am actively instructing. If you have any questions I'll be happy to help out, though some around here would probably get tired of my long posts if I keep it up for too much longer
.
At any rate, from what I've seen so far, I am very impressed with the physics of the game. The developers added some very nice touches (some of which you will only notice on sim mode), such as the left turning tendency of the airplane (made more pronounced at low speeds, high angle of attacks, with high power settings, just like in real life).
It may not make you a perfect flyer, but there are plenty of real life physics being represented in this game.
And yes, you do need to trim that much in real life!
