25-40% seems quite a lot for positive trim? I use a max of 18% and seem to be ok. Also the quoted vertical speeds seem quite high for up to 10,000 feet? Just quite at odds with the helpful A330 guide

Trim is a pretty individualistic thing and can vary based on personal preference. It’s intended to relieve the required back/forward pressure needed to maintain a certain pitch or attitude. 40% works quite well, both for keeping the nose down on takeoff roll and reducing the amount I’m actively pulling back on the stick during the initial climbout.
As for 3000fpm, this is pretty achievable once you’ve accelerated to 250kts, even at a conservative climb power setting. I’ve commonly hit 4-5000fpm briefly as I pitch to maintain 250. Ultimately it’s whatever you find works for you! This however is a nice place to start. :)

I tried 25-30% at mid weight both flaps 1+F and flaps 2 and especially on flaps 2 it seems just a bit overkill haha
The A330 has been painted as quite a sluggish climber yet the tutorial seems to almost imply the opposite!

Lovely tutorial Tyler, clear and concise and easy to understand. It will definitely help people struggling to fly the A333.

Again, use what trim works for you! Solo is a great place to figure out which configurations, rotations, and flows work best.
As for the climb, it is indeed a sluggish climber. I wouldn’t generalize performance based on the initial climbout after acceleration. Most aircraft will have a pretty healthy initial climb rate after reaching 250kts and cleaning up the flaps. From there you begin to rapidly and continuously lowering that rate as you get higher, often times doing 500fpm by the mid flight levels (FL250+).
