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.

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.

The following tips are from my experience of private pilot in real world, and you can expect to use then in IL-2 game:

the total trim amount necessary to keep a straight flight reduces as the speed increases.

the prop blade descending generates more thrust than the prop blade that is climbing. If your propeller has a clockwise rotation (inside the cockpit, behind the propeller), the torque effect of the blade will generate more lift in the right side of the propeller, generating a yaw momentum to the left.

In take-off and landing procedures, don't focus too much in trimming (only use it to keep the climb attitude and the cruise attitude). In descend for land, try to keep constant speed and vertical path to not come too hot (high speed) and too high in the approach. If you are too hot and too high, go around and proceed to another approach.

Sorry I'm a little slow, but back to trimming on the aviator, (I'm aware of the post that says forget trim with a stick, but I would like to know if it's possible) the A button seems to be the trigger, and I can't be sure if it's helping at all because I am away from home.(and my xbox) So what I'm getting out of the other explanations is you level the plane and then click the A button to trim. Makes sense, but again, the A button on the aviator is the trigger. So is that correct? Thanks in adavance.
P.S. Anyone have any tips/mods for fixing the deadzone on the throttle?(any more than 3/4 forward on the throttle is WEP)

It's RB on the AV8R.

But with the deadzone you'll have to live - on the throttle and on the stick itself.
