Trim settings the same for takeoff and landing?

Mark, you have failed to consider that in most lightplanes, the TO is
made with FLAPS UP and landings are generally made with FULL FLAPS.
True, that's all I've ever experienced.
Flaps require a really large trim adjustment, remember the GO-AROUND...
the large trim change required immediately after applying power and raising
the flaps?
Yes.
I'm also trimming on each leg including final.
The difference between TO power and approach power also adds to
this large trim change in propellor driven aircraft.
I certainly defer to your greater experience. It's speculation
that a coincidence of airspeed has his trim set at the same
place with take-off and landing, but...if he's just playing
computer games, then this is all probably irrelevant, as
simulation doesn't really translate to the real world.
Thanks.
