==== Before you Begin ====
==== Before you Begin ====
Download the latest version of IT-AUTOFLIGHT V4.0.X from [https://www.github.com/it0uchpods/IT-AUTOFLIGHT.git here]. Extract the Archive with WinRAR, 7Zip, or similar. If you are using a custom instrumentation file, make sure it contains the <gps> item, as IT-AUTOFLIGHT uses it to get an accurate and stable V/S signal. You also need the property "<tt>/position/gear-agl/ft</tt>". This property is automatically created by YASim, but for JSBsim you need to add a calculation for it on your own. See instructions below.

This area is for the tuning of the PID controllers used. These are not hard coded, so users can update IT-AUTOFLIGHT without needing to edit any files. You can also adjust these in the property browser, and they take affect immediately, without needing to reload anything.
