Guide on Tunables and more Information About it
Tunables
Description Guide
Want those rotary exhaust to help you turn when in plane mode? Choice Yes and No
What this does is that when your flying below 200knts for like let say 100-180knts then this feature can really help by having the rotary exhaust help you yaw more so you can do sharp turns. But in some cases, this feature doesn't like you using it about 200knts or more because it will shake aggressively sometimes. Ofcourse. So if your normal cruise speed is above 200knts then this feature may not be for you.
Fwd/Bwd Drift Trim(Fwd/Bwd Vtol Mode)
[Input Number]
What this does is pretty much self-explanatory which trims your fwd/bwd drift. So let say your drifting backward then you can use this to have it stay on that same spot without drifting fwd/bwd. As you can see on the tunable name its for "(Fwd/Bwd Vtol Mode) meaning this trim will only work for that and not for heli vtol mode.
Pitch Fins/Surfaces Trim(Heli Vtol Mode)
[Input Number]
What this does is also self-explanatory what the title says. So this feature lets you trim the fins/surfaces that you may have installed to counter or fix drifting on the pitch.
Roll Fins/Surfaces Trim(Both Vtol)
[Input Number]
What this does is also same as the "Pitch Fins/Surfaces Trim". But the only difference is that this does the Roll trim and this can both for both vtol modes.
Heli Mode Pitch Angle Trim(Setpoint Staring Angle)
[Input Number]
This is the setpoint for the "Fwd/Bwd Drift Extra Stabilization" PID.
Pitch Sensitivity
Roll Sensitivity
Up/Down Sensitivity
This is the point where you actually tune how much you want the base stabilization to stabilize it. Max stabilization is 0.1 but I don't recommend putting it at max because some creations just doesn't like it but some creations can survive especially big big creations. As always try to keep it at 1 unless that doesn't work then you can continue your way down to 0.9 and so on.
Min= Braking Angle
(Fwd/Bwd Vtol Mode)
[Input Number]
What this does is that it sets how much you can tilt the rotary exhaust when you press S Keybind or braking. This only works on Fwd/Bwd Vtol Mode.
Cruise Control Max Angle
[Input Number]
What this does is that, this mc has a feature where you can hook a throttle lever to the mc then the more you increase the thrl the faster it will set the cruise speed. And this feature here you can set how much you want the rotary exhaust to tilt. Don't go 0.5 because 0.5 is Plane Mode. lol
Fwd/Bwd Vtol Type Rotary Exhaust Thrust Reduction(Plane Mode)
Let say you have too many exhaust and its really giving you too much speed that the whole aircraft is shaking wild then you can have the rotary exhaust reduce their thrust and have the horizontal exhaust do their work.
Default Start Vtol Mode
Heli Vtol Mode or Fwd/Bwd Mode
Allow Fwd/Bwd Vtol Mode?
Yes or No
Allow Plane Mode?
Yes or No
Pretty much self-explanatory I know you get this. I hope..
Flight Engines Ready Delay Start Up(In Seconds)Max 20s
What this feature does is very helpful because sometimes when jet engines starts it kinda throws your aircraft up goes nuts for a few seconds then it chills. So this feature puts all rotary exhaust to thrust reduction of 1 for a few seconds that you set to wait for the Engine RPS to stabilize.
