Curious how you guys have your trim set. Which periphial do you have it binded to. I can’t seem to get it right, I’ve tried both the Honeycomb Yoke and Gladiator MK III with no much luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I have a thrustmaster hotas x i have up and down trim set to two buttons on my trottle reeally handy there and works fine

Saitek pro flight yoke, elevator trim bound to the vertical rocker switches on my left hand. The button on the back is autopilot in offline and radio in online (IVAO), right side I have rudder trim on horizontal rocker switches, view on vertical ones and 8-switch, and button on top radio in offline/autopilot on online. That way I can have 1 hand on the yoke and 1 on the throttle/speedbrake/flaps

I have mine bound to one of the “throttle” axes on my logitech G throttle quadrant that I don’t use with the TBM (only need 1 throttle axis for throttle, no mixture etc). Sensitivity set to c. 50% and it works quite well
Mine is set to one of the two buttons at the top of my joystick (one button is incremental up, the other is incremental down).
Unfortunately, I don’t have a paddleswitch so this was my workaround.
X52. Keeping it close to where it is needed. Can easily set a level flight after climbing.
I have the thrustmaster twcs throttle and have trim set to the little pinky wheel. Sensitivity is turned down and it works well with small movements. Just have to be sure that I don’t bump it!

CH Eclipse yoke. Pitch trim and aileron trim set as up/down and left/right on the POV switch on the left thumb, rudder trim set on the left/right rocker switch below the POV switch. Works extremely well. Means I have to use the right hand four-way switch as my POV switch, losing out on an eight-way POV, but I need the trim on my left thumb to match real life… No biggie when using Track IR and the POV is only used for moving camera position in external view.
On my Honeycomb yoke it is set to the default two switches on the left handle.
I have had absolutely no problems trimming.
You have to make very short key strokes or single keystrokes. Holding them in for any length of time does not work.
Also dont trim the plane to fly where you want it. You have to fly the plane so it is in stable flight, and then gradually let go of the yoke as you trim.
Works for me.
Honeycomb yoke, works fine.
It‘s set to both trim switches together so you need to use both. And here it also works to hold them but the trim is quite sensitive in the sim.
I actually have trim set to the two orange buttons on the back of the throttle.

In most planes, the main trim control is placed on yoke or stick. The wheel is a backup and a visual clue. This last function is not replicated here anyway, I guess.
For now I use this top rotary control (axis) on my Logitech X56. Works like a charm. And the ‘clicky’ on the wheel switches on ALT hold mode for my AP.
But I have a Logitech Pro Flight Multi Panel on the way to me now, which includes a trim wheel and will free a bunch of buttons on my X56 throttle (that I currently use for AP functions). I may just use the 2 front buttons as the “electric trim” buttons.
With this sentence you put the C172 out of the ‘most planes’ 
But I do agree, there is more and more electrical trims nowadays. Even the little Aquila has an electric trim and no wheel trim.
me too! just like flying school days
Same! And I know exactly what you mean about accidentally bumping into the wheel and sending the plane sky rocketing or nose diving
