Default Procedure for calculating weight and balance

hehehe....are you trying to avoid a building? small controll movements
are key to a smooth flight.


No, but if I put in a lot of trim to stay level, and then I need more
control movement for an emergency, I might not have it. The trim can
create the false impression that there is full movement in both
directions.

Neutral trim in cruse is not neccisarly good. read about it.


I've read about advantages and disadvantages, but there doesn't seem
to be any great danger in neutral trim.

again, how much elevator do you need?


I don't know ... so I like to have as much as possible in both
directions.

For real airplanes, FAR Parts 23 and 25 contain detailed
requirements to provide for "emergency" maneuvers at all
trim settings. If you have a problem here, it's solely MSFS.
The idea that you would be concerned about such an
emergency in a flight sim is really weird. Does MSFS really
consume your life like this? Jeesh.
