Read the RELEASE NOTES found on the HTC home page. "trim set" can now be found under joystick mapping under FLIGHT options. In a nutshell, when activated, trim set will neutralize all surface control inputs. At least that's how I understand it.

Try looking at bottom right corner of the alphabet on the keyboard.........
The DOT key?

Whilst it is mapped to <.> by default, but if you had previously mapped <.> to some other function it will not be mapped automatically, and you'll have to map it yourself.

From what I understand, when used it adjusts trim to match whatever stick input you were giving when you pressed <.>. Useful IMHO when you lost a wing.....;)

when I looked at the map system....the function was un-mapped.

so...gave  it to the <.>  key....other wise known as dot.

I used it last night to land a P38 with and engine out and missing 1/2 a wing.  It made it a bit easier.
