I concur. The Icon A5 FM has severe issues I think. The simplest way of showing this is by trying to hold approach AOA for land operations (i.e Flaps up) and see how much trim this takes.
In the game, you need to trim full aft (or a smidgen less).
IRL you trim a couple of notches (on the instrument) aft of T/O trim.
See the attached images for comparison. Both aircraft are roughly in the same conditions: on AOA, in a slight descent. Look at the trim indicator.
The issue here is: what is it in the FM that’s wrong? It’s not the trim: this is just a tell- tale.
