> Trim feels academic in a sim. Your stick is so light, it feels like a tiny convinience. But to me (a sim user) maintaining AoA stability does not feel "like a tiny convenience". It's critical to maintaining stable flight in a desirable condition. It's not academic; it's highly practical. Not because it alleviates arm fatigue, of course, but because stable flight is nearly impossible without it -- especially during higher-workload moments. The idea that you can fly properly without trimming for AoA seems to me like a caricatured view of simulator flight.
