My problem with trim is: once i use it, my plane doesent feel ballanced anymore, cant seem to get it right
Is there a way to reset the trim? it is really confusing me.

I think there's no possibility to reset it. I hardly ever manage to get the plane into a level flight due to deadzone issues, but I'm already satisfied when I manage to reduce its tendency to move out of line. Slowly increase pressure on the joystick without making the nose turn into the other direction and repeat the process as often as necessary.

Ye, but i find my plane good enough stable right at the start.
Once i press the trim button (wich i did by accident last night) the fun starts and i have a much harder time controlling my plane.
Also having that deadzone issiue, im wondering if its less with the hori!

Really? Usually the nose drops and I'm banking to the left when I start.

it slowly banks to the left and nose points up a bit. but i hardly go into WEP maybe thats it.

with the voice telling me "let go" I totally didn't bother with trim and got an 8 kill tally on sim Dover...nothing special but my best yet...

if you have a stick- forget trim...if you are going to survive you really don't want to be flying in a straight line too long anyway....

use the force.....let go....forget trim...

I like to fix the trim before meeting the bombers - at least marginally. Fighting against the enemy and my own plane never gave me good results.
