Trim doesn't seem to work right in flight on F-18C

[atrcaptainjohn]

I just got my Virpil Warbird base.  Using it with the Thrustmaster Warthog and the TM F-18 grips.  Obviously I ran the Virpil config software, and then remapped all the buttons in DCS.  My problem is that no matter what I do in the F-18C I am not able to get the FPV aligned with the E-Bracket once the gear comes down.  When I sit on the ground and look at the FCS page I can see the Stab Trim moving as I hit the trim switches.  But once I am in the air I can't tell anymore because the Stab Trim is going all over the place, I assume because of the fly by wire.  But regardless, I can't get the flight path vector aligned with the E=Bracket.  In free flight with the gear up the trim does seem to have some effect, although it doesn't seem to be as much as it was with the Warthog base.  I figure I have done something wrong, but I sure can't figure out what.  Please help, this is driving me nuts

Did I see your question being answered on facebook? Something with flaps?

Works fine for me with TM F-18 grip and WarBRD base.  Check that you have flaps in 1/2 or FULL.  Pitch trim won't work (or at least it won't do much) if you're not due to the FBW.
