=== Version 3.1 ===
=== Version 3.1 ===
Changes include: Roll/Pitch Rate to drive Aileron/Elevator, Autoland Rollout Mode, and many improvements to stability, and operation. It also has new options which make it more modular, and easier to adapt.

* '''roll-kp''': Adjust the Kp for HDG/LNAV PID.  
* '''roll-kp''': Adjust the Kp for HDG/LNAV PID.  
* '''vorloc''': Adjust the Kp for the VORLOC PID.
* '''vorloc''': Adjust the Kp for the VORLOC PID.
* '''vs''': Adjust the Kp for the FPM/FPS PID. (ALT, V/S, FLCH, G/S, FPA, LAND, FLARE)
* '''alt-gain''': Adjust the gain for altitude error.
* '''vs-low''': Adjust the Kp for the FPM/FPS PID at Approach Speed/Config (ALT, V/S, FLCH, G/S, FPA, LAND, FLARE)
* '''vs-high''': Adjust the Kp for the FPM/FPS PID at High Speed/Altitude (ALT, V/S, FLCH, G/S, FPA, LAND, FLARE)

==== CMD and Autoland ====
Important Note: Most of the time, CMD tuning is not required to be changed. Only adjust CMD if the controllers do not work optimally.
Important Note: Most of the time, CMD tuning is not required to be changed. They should only need changing if the FDM or aircraft is bizarre. Before you tweak the values, try to tune your Roll and Pitch Rate values better.
* Adjust the values in cmd Next. To see what each value does, see Tuning and Configuration above.
* Once those are all working, tune Autoland. Easy way to test: KNUQ RW32R, takeoff runway hdg, climb 2000ft. ILS: 109.55. ARM ILS once above 250ft. Aircraft should intercept ILS.
* Tune V/S First, but only if needed! This is very important! All Pitch modes feed into the V/S controller. You don't usually need to adjust V/S on a stable FDM! Adjust only if it is unstable. Once V/S is stable, you can tune the other modes.
* The "autoland/pitch-kp" is for the LAND/FLARE modes. Do not change it unless needed. Lastly, "autoland/rudder-kp" is for the Rudder LOC track.
* Once those are all working, tune LOC and G/S. Easy way to test: KNUQ RW32R, takeoff runway hdg, climb 2000ft. ILS: 109.55. ARM ILS once above 250ft. Aircraft should intercept ILS.
* Once LOC and G/S are working, tune the Autoland. The "autoland/pitch-kp" is for the LAND/FLARE modes. Do not change it unless needed. Lastly, "autoland/rudder-kp" is for the Rudder LOC track.
