    Electric trim for all 3 axis is available with no power to the aircraft. Is this correct or incorrectly simulated? I suspect the latter?

      You will find that the trims work when you are using external hardware, but not when the switches are moved in the cockpit. This is because I have no way of telling when someone is controlling the trim on their external hardware with a simple switch, or with a physical knob, which should never stop working in most aircraft.

      You might find this post helpful to create a solution specific to your hardware.

        @Black-Square Thanks - I've implemented a condition within SPAD to prevent electric trims from working when there is no power to the bus, which is a good workaround :-)
