In-air start mission, plane is always heavily untrimmed

Hello, 
When playing instant actions on the channel map which will start in air, the plane seems to be always set with the default trim settings which will result to mandatory few seconds of heavy compensating and trim process. 

It can sounds ridiculous to complain for this but it is really redondant after a while and if you wanna re-train from the start you always loose precious seconds of concentration right at the begining of action when those missions are made for quick action session.

Do you know if this has been adressed already ?

PS Sorry if untrimmed is not a correct english word.

In the air-start missions the jug is clearly not trimmed for the flight conditions at mission start. All 3 trim axes are in their neutral positions. This costs precious time especially in the instant action missions where you need to be instantly ready to fight.
I have created for myself a custom binding for a rapid "Trim Preset". which requires addition of one line in "default.lua" under "...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\P-47D-30\Input\P-47D-30\joystick".

{down = device_commands.Button_6, pressed  = device_commands.Button_9, up = device_commands.Button_3, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROLS, value_down = -0.25, value_pressed = 0.35, value_up = -0.1, name = _('Trim Preset Elevator_Rudder_Aileron'), category = {_('Flight Control')}},

This line sets
Elevator Trim = -0.25 (25% tail-heavy)
Rudder Trim = 0.35 (35% Right)
Aileron Trim = 0.1    (10% Right)
The added line creates a new command "Trim Preset Elevator_Rudder_Aileron" which I've bound to a button on my VRP stick.
