Elevator Trim: Home and End keys are assigned to that by default in sim

Of course most craft you couldn't trim out these traits in may of these aircraft especially in flight, even with rigging etc so it's basically an "aid". Se5a's and some Sopwiths etc had some basic trimming for elevator though.

Just finished Sagittarius Rising and Lewis describes a comrade who had his control wires shot away yet landed his SE using only his elevator trim.

I use it to counter the unrealistic effects of my joystick centering spring

Is this somehow disable in the Aviatik? I'm going thru training and it takes an incredible amount of down elevator to keep the plane level. You can see it looking back. I made a different pilot and tried the N11 and was able to set the trim in quick combat. I went back to my training campaign in the Aviatik and no joy. Any useful suggestions?

Many craft would climb nose up, or veer off to the side in their battle ready state some suck to fly.
Some needed quite a bit of forward stick to fly as they were configured to climb etc (sometimes when fuel is used up the Center of gravity moves and so then it flies level for example.

Aviatik is fine, it has a fairly gentlte climb when I try it. Maybe calibrate the joystick.
