Remember I am not proposing really auto trim: I am proposing triggering the trim action at a speed of change equivalent to a real life trim wheel;
- if you stop pushing the button, the A/C will not be completely trimmed,
- if you change the attitude of the A/C during trimming, the A/C will not be correctly trimmed and you will have to do it again (= releasing the button and push it again)

This is quite close to RL equivalent of retrimming. You will have a perfect trim only if you let the time to the trim to reach its intended position, without having changed A/C attitude in the mean time: again this is close to RL behavior.

What you may not realize is that it is possible to obtain a far better trim with a proper control (or the system I propose) than with a rotary, even if you are trained to use the rotary.
In RL, you can obtain perfect trim...each time! With a rotary, it is approximate at best: to test it, relase the stick when you think you are in trim and look at what happens...

So the perfect trim the IA does can and should be yours...

As I said, the lesser evil would be insta-trim: you push the button, and voilà! you are trimmed...a bit easy but you still need to think about trimming action...and the full point is, more often than not, one does not think in time about trimming! You need to re-trim for each attitude change or RPM change: in manoeuvers this means all the time!

I can tell you that this is not a cheat at all, considering the limitations of our setups; you would just remark that your flying and A/C performances would be of better quality, exactly like in RL, that's all...
