Default Pitch vs. trim in flight phases

I find the yoke pressure in MSFS to be a grossly inaccurate simulation.

Most all game yokes are center loaded with springs, which means the
only time there is zero yoke pressure is when the yoke is centered.

As all real pilots know, zero yoke pressure can occure over most, if
not all, of the the yoke travel on a real airplane.

Stable slow flight at the edge of a stall is probably the best example.
