I think trim is just academic is MSFS because there is no control
feedback.


You don't need control feedback to see the response of the aircraft
out the window and with the instruments, although you can get it with
a force-feedback joystick. It is true that anything that requires
gradual control inputs or depends on a sensation of motion or other
physical feedback is difficult to simulate without advanced hardware.

The OP is probably setting the elevator with too much back
pressure but doesn't know it because he doesn't have the feedback.
Honestly, if you asked me what position the yoke is in on take off, I
probably couldn't tell you. In real life we expect the yoke to go to
its trim position, something that doesn't make sense in a simulator
that does not have feedback controls.


You're saying the yoke moves on its own?
