3 years ago Well, there's a turnup for the books, I just went to have a look at this today and it turns out I'd already done it. I have no recollection of doing so, so can only assume I was blind drunk at the time. The code looks good enough though - it's not spectacular but given the plane flight dynamics need a complete rewrite at some point, I'm not going to stress that right now.
What I have done as far as code changes go is change the default rates to something much more gentle - although people upgrading will have other defaults saved, but they can always change it manually or reset all the saved data. The default rate profile will look like this.
Which does tell me that perhaps the ailerons were a bit spicy to start with, but there you go. It's already in the networked plane as well, so we're good to close!
There's been a few voices of discontent about the plane being too tricky to handle on the sticks.... to which I'd normally say "be more gentle on the sticks then", but it only seems fair to give rates-style control for the plane as well to make things a bit easier to handle.
