I have actual flying experience and the trim in IL2 seems fine to me. I understand what is being said, but because our pc joysticks are not actually connected to an aircraft its the best solution for now, just trim until the VSI is at 0 and you are holding the cruise attitude. Not all aircraft have in-flight adjustable trim, some only have elevator trim and some have no in-flight adjustable trim. Most of the US aircraft have all axis adjustable trim, whereas some of the british and german fighters like spits, tempests and 109's have only in-flight adjust on the elevator trim. Now that being said, some aircraft have trim tabs on the control surface (ailerons) which are adjusted outside of the aircraft before flight, and this I'm sure was the case with spits and 109's.
