Currently, this project implements three autopilot modes which can be rebinded in Settings > Controls > Helicopter
Altitude hold: When activated, altitude hold will capture current altitude and attempt to maintain using collective. The first mode (Green) is Radar Altitude. The second mode (Blue) is Barometric Altitude. Each toggle switches through the submodes. Altitude hold will attempt to arrest a dive if there is not enough power to maintain altitude at set speed. Cyclic and pedals are controlled by the pilot.
Heading hold: When activated, heading hold will capture and attempt to hold the helicopter on established heading using yaw or roll. Collective and pitch is controlled by the pilot.
Inertial Airspeed hold: When activated, inertial airspeed hold attempts to hold established airspeed via pitch commands (pitching up to reduce speed, pitching down to increase speed). Cyclic side to side, pedals, and collective is controlled by the pilot.
All modes can be combined at pilot's discretion.
