Also do you guys know a way to calculate V1/VR etc
I use depending on aircraft
757, 787, 737 20% does it for me
A330 and A350 use 40-50
All the others use 30% except A320 family which I keep at around 5%

For trim this is useful:
For rotate speeds this is useful:

To be honest, I don’t know how to calculate V1. But as an ATC, the general rule-of-thumb is when you reach 100kts, it would be nearly impossible to completely stop before reaching the end of the runway, so I would take V1 around that value.
For trim and VR, I use the thread sent by @MPH258.
And for the VR, I just interpolate it from my initial load. For example, if I’m using A320 and my load is 65%, that would be (140 – 135 kts) × (65% – 50%) / (75% – 50%) = 138kts. If the result is a decimal, I’d just round it up.

I always trim the airplane until the magenta line disappears. Doing that insures you’re trimmed appropriately for the current configuration, for the 75 I usually use 30-40% for example.

I use specific plane guides provided by insanely dedicated IFC users that I will be forever grateful for to get a general guideline in proper speeds per load (V1/VR/V2). Simbrief also provides V1/VR/V2 per load and type but tbh idk how much this relates to IF physics so I dont base anything on this info atm.
For trim I’m on a joystick with the sensitivity quite low so usually higher then others. For example I use 58% trim on the E190 for landing (33% for takeoff) / 35-40% on the 77W / 15% on the 737 It’s very much based on the devices you personally use and preference. Some like it flying straight without any input if you wanna go down they have to push down whilst others like having to pull back a bit to stay straight releasing the yoke to make the nose go down.
