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.

f0r MS FS2004 take a look at the following from NG
alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim
It's not real but it seems to vastly improve the time it takes to trim.

RealTrim 0.9

RealTrim is a Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004(tm) Module. Activated via
key-press it converts the current elevator deflection into trim as the
sim-pilot moves the yoke forward or backwards. This maps closely to
trimming an airplane in real-life where pressure on the elevator felt
through the yoke is trimmed out by the pilot operating a trim wheel. As
the sim-pilot smoothly moves the joystick into neutral position,
RealTrim automatically adjusts the elevator trim so the airplane stays
in its current pitch configuration. This mechanism is superior to
moving the joystick into neutral while tapping a trim-key or moving a
trim-axis. That's because moving the joystick's axis and modifying trim
are not linked to each other and especially difficult in the case of
tapping a trim-key.
