If you're flying German, it's good to note that you can't fly hands-off; the only control surface you can trim is the elevator.

Good point, Axial.

If a guy wants to have several trim settings for various aircraft, then he could make copies of the Controls file in IL-2, accordingly. About two years ago when I was into trim very heavy, I had one for Russian fighter, one for German, and one for American. I simply would drag - literally swap - the Controls files. A couple files would be on my PC Desktop screen ready to be swapped. It only takes a few seconds and worth setting them for the convenience.

Now, I would only set trim for level bombing. Fighters no longer make any difference for me. My skills and patience have developed to the amount that I can fly any fighter in any combat maneuver. This is where you want to be. I knew that I had reached an amount of proficiency when I could consistantly pull a P-39N1 out a flat spin of either direction and save the plane.

Not only practicing loop, Immelmann, spit-S, and other major maneuver - try upside down banking, upside down scissors, upside down loops, inverted Immelmanns, and inverted Split-Ss. Become accustomed to flying any aeroplane in any maneuver. After a while, trim will become unnecessary except for level bombing.
