I would like my planes to be more efficient in AUTO modes.
Unfortunately the throttle response for the TECS systems is so quick with modern ESCs that a lot of energy is wasted ramping up the motors only to immediately back them off again. AUTO modes end up being much less efficient than manual flight, or even FBWA flight.
What settings should I look at to slow the throttle control down?
If the plane is cruising at a speed way above the stall speed why does the auto pilot even apply extra throttle with such immediate effect? Why not allow the planes speed to stabilise naturally?
When flying manual mode we don’t constantly need to change the throttle by 5-10% and yet the plane continues to fly straight and level.
Ideally it would be great to be able to set the cruise Watts required for an airframe and then the autopilot would stick to that unless it encountered a big change in conditions over many seconds.
