That's not correct, CT over rides analog manual trim.
Yes and no. As I said above, in the past when I had trims mapped to a keystroke, when in combat trim as soon as I made an adjustment to trim via a keystroke combat trim toggled off just like Dace says. You have to do this in a P-38 in dives or else combat trim will fly you right into the ground! Yes as soon as you toggle combat trim back on it overrides whatever you had manually set your trim to and returns to "center" for that speed.
The difference I'm finding, now that I've mapped trim to an axis, is that when you toggle combat trim on it still overrides your manual trim and acts just like combat trim always did but when you toggle it back off--the axis remains where it was originally. You have to re-trim manually. Which I'm OK with. It's not a keystroke anymore. The position of the axis is where it is until I change it. Toggling combat trim won't move it at all.
I used to use combat trim to kinda just set my trim at a given speed and then toggle it back off again real quick. I don't like how it lags to adjust and for my almost exclusively P-38 flying I can easily tap tap tap on the elevator trim to get where I want to be. I've had to become one with the various trims in the 38. When the thing is intact it's hardly a problem other than elevator trim. But when things are missing or broken! That's when ya gotta really get on the trim.
