does trimming the plane make it slower than letting it fly naturally (ex at the start of an qmb the plane wants to go up so i just let it to gain altitude).

Not trimming the plane during a climb will make you slower. This can be seen when you try to climb in formation and even on full power cannot keep up with the people that are trimmed. Every time you pull back the stick you are burning off some speed so you will never quite match the speed of the people that are not touching their controls. The same applies to constantly correcting roll.

That said, it is very difficult to trim easily using the keyboard. I have a joystick with two throttle levers and I use one for elevator trim and it is so much better than when I used to have to keep tapping keys. I am going to have a dilema soon when the next mod allows us to use both throttles for the engines![/quote]
