what it was set too. 500 m or 50 im not sure. But what Im having problems with is the plane itself bouncing all around, I adjust up a bit and unless I keep that exact pressure on the stick, (even after holding it there for a bit) I lose my position and bounce back down right to where I was set at before. Its really annoying.

That's normal. The plane always wants to get into a certain pitch depending on weight, speed and control surface input. If you change your elevator input the plane will change it's pitch, if you release the input the plane will go back to it's "natural" flight attitude. That is what the trim is for.

So its that how real pilots do it?? Get into a turn with a plan line up the sites and then set the trim?? Or is there a way to get into that turn hold my elevators in a certain position and then set that to be the trim position (Like an auto button?)

Not really - you just need to trim your plane for level flight. In turns, use the stick - you need the hands-on control for maneuvers. Just set it so that when you let go of the stick, it doesn't pull up or down violently.

Do you have keys/joystick programmed for it? I believe by default it's Ctrl+arrow keys
