I use the programmed switches on the X52 Pro, and then when that didn't work I used for the flaps:

Flaps (extend fully) F8
Flaps (extend incrementally) F7
Flaps (retract fully) F5
Flaps (retract incrementally) F6

...and for the trim:

Aileron trim (left) Ctrl + Num 4
Aileron trim (right) Ctrl + Num 6
Elevator trim (down) Not programmed other than the X52
Elevator trim (up) Not programmed other than the X52

Just to check, what are your expectations regarding the trim and flaps? When you make trim inputs does the stick move?

And the flaps, does the flap lever at least move?

I do half flaps for takeoff, the lever moves. If I go full flaps the lever moves. But regarding the trim I don't see the stick move nor will the aircraft trim...

Correction, the stick does move, I tested it with the takeoff trim...

There isn't a half flaps position. The lever positions are UP, HOLD, and DOWN. When in UP or DOWN, the flaps will move in the respective direction until they reach their full limits. If the lever is moved to HOLD while they are in transit, they will stop where they are. Basically this allows an infinite number of flap positions. So it is working as designed.

Was waiting to solve the other issues first. I will get you a special lighting exe tomorrow so I can trace where the crash is occurring.

Try unzipping this into your F-86TP texture folder:

G et the crash to occur and send me the crash log.

Strange, I don't know what I did before the last flight (without the new exe) but the lighting works now...
