is there a way to set automatic trim?

....in FS 2004? i just have a simple joystick and mouse, and its
highly disruptive to keep clicking on the trim wheels while flopping
around the sky wildy. if not... I dont get why there isn't an
auto-trim feature that trims to keep level flight no matter what your
airspeed change is. =\

Hello matty/amangill/emak
Press CTL/ALT/DEL, select task manager, make sure FS9 is highlighted
then
selected END TASK to bring up the control assignment page for the trim
options.

You can use the keyboard keys for that and it will be less disruptive. If
you have a way to set the keyboard alongside your chair on the left side or
get a programmable stick and assign trim to some buttons.

There is... it's the autopilot.

7 & 1 on the numeric keypad control trim, make sure you have the NumLock key
"off" in order to use them.
Within the sim if you use the menus at the top and look for controller
assignments, you can see every single keypress. Alternatively try a search
of Avsim or similar for a file called fs9keyref.zip
