Unusual settings

These informational comparisons show common settings. They carry no safety or quality rating.

  • The autopilot follow authority (0.7) is outside the usual range (0–0.5) — strong, but the app will still clamp it safely.

Notes from rodriguez

"Completed several traffic patterns and flights with the Cessna 152 and the behaviour is now absolutely perfect. By setting the elevator trim authority to 0.26 (leaving propwash and surface-follow at defaults, with aero-drag and stick-alive on), the aircraft trims smoothly and easily — I can fly straight and level hands-free." — shared by rodriguez (MS Sidewinder FFB2).
