This 'hopefully' will be be patched.. Anton stated it is a glitch that there is no audio cue for buffeting while in cockpit view.

Now that I got that under control, I need more help . What are the flaps doing in their resected settings and I still don't really get what trimmer does. Can anyone explain these things... I'd be nice to know seeing as how I'm currently circling the airfield and would love to land and take a shower

Think of trimming like zeroing your controls. In any air plane depending on height, speed, wind speed and direction etc the plane will take considerable effort to have it fly straight. By trimming you are setting the stick and rudders to a point where it fly straight in the "zero" position. Hold the stick/rudders so that the plane is flying straight and hit the trim button. When you then let go of the stick/rudders the plane should now fly straight with little or no effort even if you take your hands off the controls.
