Auto Trim Setting???

[Spranget]

I was just wondreing if there is any type of auto trim setting in any bird in FS9. For instance, I flew a real U.S. Air Force KC-135 simulator while working at one of the local bases several years ago. In the simulator, there is a rocker type toggle on the yoke that automatically adjusts the trim to level or close to it when the switch is depressed. Also, I ahve heard of auto trim in aircraft somewhere where all that has to de done is "turn it on" and it will constantly automatically adjust the trim as one flys. KEEP IN MIND..... I am one of those stubborn "OuthouseMen" that normally only flys warbirds (the piston kind) or helos. Just wanting to know. Thanks for the help in advance.

The Boeings have a trim switch on the yoke, and also in older models a trim switch on the center pedestal. This can be replicated well by assigning pitch trim to buttons on the head of your yoke. There is in some aircraft a function known as control wheel steering, in which you can leave autopilot alt hold on. In the 747, with the flaps down, there is a speed trim function which attempts to slowly trim out any held elevator forces.
