Back to the subject of trim, lowering the flaps and undercarraige will have a major effect on the planes trim, and so will slowing down as you approach the runway itself. Therefore trimming is not really effective when landing, and you will need to be making constant adjustments to the controls as you come in to land.

Well, in a real plane, we make several trim adjustments during landing, mostly up to help bleed off speed and to compensate for the steeper descent angle from lowering flaps. Some planes require less than others, but a low-wing aircraft usually requires a full uptrim to stay on the glide slope. It's all going to be hit or miss for awhile in BoP, it's not like 1C put a PAPI at the airfield. With a game that handles like a real plane, telling someone not to trim and re-trim during landing is very dangerous advice and I hope you never do it in a real plane. If you do, we'll be sure and scatter your ashes all over the lawn at 1C.
