Lengro sir I understand, I'm just not sure this is a fixable problem.
Your so far out there now, that your fighting the limitations of the system.
No I don't think CT is better necessarily, well better than what is the first thing that has to be defined.
Better than out of trim, controls feeling "off" or mushy, yes.
For me I'm lazy, the more pilot load I can remove the happier I am.
So yes CT is on for me, mostly.
When I do fly with CT off, If I do get into a wicked fight, esp if I was at 8k trimmed for fast, about the 2nd merge I'll cycle CT on and off in less than a second. Because I know that at least trim is now set for "close" to this speed, not 350 mph or faster when I was in level flight.
I understand what your asking for and why. I think for the majority of people it would cause as many problems as it solves.
Next time your in one of those bleeding edge fights with Bighorn. If your film is on, go back and look in the film at where your trim is actually set to. Then in the same situation see where the period . sets it to.
Truly I believe that for you trim is the butterfly wing that caused a hurricane half a planet away.
However I could be wrong, I'm not perfect.
<S> Loads of respect headed your way as always sir!
