The flightpath/trajectory markers are not FDM specific but they are 'set-up' in the 'set' file for the aircraft i.e A-10cl-set.xml/A-10fl-set.xml for the A-10s. Although I don't remember the complete details, I once looked into enabling them on a global basis and found it was pretty straight forward. The relevant bits are the <submodels> entries within the <sim> block and the corresponding <keyboard> entries within the <input> section, which is also in the <sim> block. Your problem could be due to both or either part not working right - that is either the submodels entries aren't being actioned correctly or the key-mapping entries aren't working. You could try having a look at the relevant properties in the property browser to check that everything is present & correct.
