I wonder if there is a way to tell the simulator to manage the trim
a little better? I've looked some ... need to look more.

ASA's IP Trainer does not do it. Elite doesn't do it. PFC yokes do feel pretty
reak-world, though, unlike the cheapies.

I have had some time in a Frasca and in it, too, pitch control was a PITA. I've
been told that pretty much all simulators are bad at this.

Yes.
I've logged time in the old WW2-era, vacuum-driven Link Trainers.
They were easy to hate, too, for the same reason.

I've got over 30 hours in the Frasca and have never had problems
setting the trim. In fact one of the instructors (I've taken the
courses at the local college) used to chide me for flying entire
practice sequences (45 minutes) with nothing but the trim for
everything other than the takeoff.

We've got 4 ATPs (is that the right company?) but I haven't
had a chance to use those yet. They're for the multi students.

I've got FS2002 and have never been able to get trim to work
properly.
