No combat trim, no padlock. I'm not able to come out of compression with CT on.

I don't use CT as a rule but find it useful on high torque a/c like Typhoon when I get my knickers in a twist with manual trim and need to trim quick before a fight.

Padlock - tried it and don't like it. I like being able to swop quickly from the instruments to my target

I've got trim mapped to the rear hat on the throttle of my X-36 so don't use the combat trim - I generally use trim to follow evasive maneuvers without sharp stick movements that would lose me energy.

I use it. Only when in high speed dives I override it.
Pretty much how I played before CT was introduced, only I used the Shift-X as my "CT" and really only changed to manual when in high speed dives.

Tried CT when it was first introduced.  Have gone back to auto/manual trims.  Never tried Padlock.

I always toggle CT off when I enter a fight.

I tried Padlock once the first day it was introduced and I just can't see how anyone could possibly use it to any advantage in a fight.

Never use Padlock.

I use CT cos I am lazy, in a real flyin by the seat of pants furball tend to turn it off, also have to turn it off when landing, otherwise it tries to propel U off the side of the runway.
Shoot! I smell Zack! Doom's a Fairy, Jimmy's a drunk, RT is very suspicious!
how do I start my engine...no seriously, How?
