Hey dizzyweather,
the trims are ment to keep you on course without you having to keep correcting the heading/bank angle.

you should use the Aileron trim when for some reason you are not balanced (one side of the aircraft is heavier than the other).

you should use the rudder trim when you have some crosswind..... (you probably know that when you have crosswind you set the heading somewhere between the course you want to fly and where the wind come from) this will make the airplane turn without any bank angle.....


all trims (Ailerons, rudder and pich) are small parts at the end of the wing the can move up or down/left or right to generate lift power to the other side..... just like the wings but smaller....


Hope I made it all clear,

ummmmmm I am not too familiar with the baron..... but you got it right.... in FS the ailerons are pretty much useless.... the Aileron are mainly used in reality when the passengers sit on one side or there in cases of falling cargo or fuel leaks.....

Basically, different trim settings are used throughout a flight. Neutral trim is only effective in one particular situation, let's say cruising speed at normal operating altitude. A well trimmed aircraft is much easier to fly.

This is more apparent with a prop aircraft like the Baron as you have the prop torque & P-factor to take into consideration. How effective it is in the sim depends on your realism settings.

If you want to change the payload you can transfer fuel.  Make one tank empty or turn off the crossfeed.

yeah I completely agree with you.... every thing I know about flight simming I have learned here! (or from tutorials on this site...)
