F-22 Takeoff Trim Setting

So maybe I'm just looking right at this and not seeing it, but I have scoured the cockpit in the P3D v4 default (Iris) F-22 and I cannot find a visual indicator for the trim setting.

I'm flying with keyboard and mouse, or sometimes Xbox game controller, so there's not a physical control I can center.

Not usually a problem for a new flight, but I picked up a saved flight and ended up on my back on take off because I thought the trim was set -- it was of course -- from the last landing. :wiggle:

I suppose I have the alternative to add a mini XML gauge with the trim position, remember the old stick-throttle-trim gauge from FS9?

Suggestions on where to look for the F-22 trim indicator welcomed. :wavey:
 
The F-22, like all modern fighters, should be self-trimming. What trimming the pilot may choose to do will be done by feel. If there is one, it most likely will be on one of the MFDs. That is where the F-35 has its trim indicators.

I have flown the F-22 in PD3 once. That was my initial flight with the default sim. I do not think the F-22 in PD3 is very realistic. The developer of the aircraft is well known for using creative, artistic interpretations of its aircraft. I am sure everything about the F-22 is still classified. So, the developer would not have had access to real design criteria.
