My planes are always pre-trimmed?

[Lymark]

 109s for example, it's always trimmed at 30% nose down when I start a campaign mission, I know I could press 'reset trim', but it's getting annoying that I have to press it every time. So, is there a way to default it to zero?

 

 Also, I've assigned buttons for the adjustable stabilizer, and its travel speed is rather slow unlike axes assigned. Will I able to adjust it somehow?

 

Thanks!

Bf 109 hasn't trimmers, you can use only adjustable stabilizer.

 Sorry, i meant stabilizer for that matter. But it actually doesn't matter, cause not only the stabilizer, the trimmers of other aircraft are always at different positions other than zero too. 

 

A few examples by default

 109G-2= stabilizer at -48%

 Ju 87 = Pitch trim -30%, yaw trim 10%

 IL-2 = Pitch trim -60% 

 Pe-2= Pitch 20%, Roll 10%, Yaw-10%

 

These setting ain't take off trim nor optimal trim for level flight at cruising speed. So, I wonder why and If it's possible to default it to zero instead, without using the 'reset trim' button every time?

if you look at the gauge in the cockpit, bf109 g-2 for example, -49% is exactly 0, namely no trim. As for why 0 is -49%, i have no idea. I always set the stabilizer on g-2 to -49% in combat.

I'm not familiar with the G2, but for F4, I believe the default position of the stabilizer should be at 1.5 degree up, which is at 0%.

 

Anyways, guess I'll have to live with it then.

Most of those aircraft also have trim tabs that could be set on ground.

 

The Bf109s in il2 appears to have ( correctly ) the elevator ground adjustable trim tab set for nose heavy. These are pre-adjusted in the aircraft models ...  I guess the same can apply to other ground adjustable trim tabs for ailerons and rudder, which are set in the model and not accessible to the user.

 

All of them, in the models I have played with, look plausibly set.

 In that case, I'm totally fine as long as it's realistic.

 

 I'm curious though, I know that 109s are tail heavy, so I guess the way those trims are set is to help taking off or something?

In real life you trim for climb, for cruise ,for descend and for landing.

I imagine in WWII you also trimmed for combat

It does make a big difference in flight if you dont trim.(real planes)

In BOS and BOM feels like the trim is optimized for combat.(Im not trimming the airplanes at all and they fly fine)

It's pain in the ass that we can't still bind trims to axis. Only stabiliser can be .... How hard it's to do?

I think the trim is set to cruise, not combat. In real life the AC would probably be set for landing as that is the way you would have left it at the end of a flight unless you were really anal about your post flight. I constantly fiddle with trim except in the 190 which is mostly set and go for max cruise.
