I know what angle of attack is, but when you pull up, is the angle of attack positive or negative.
At first I thought it was positive but when I was working on my cockpit's info display I realized that in the SimplePlanes's code it's the other way around, when you pull up the angle of attack is negative. I want to know how it is in real life to make my cockpit as accurate as possible.
What is positive / negative angle of attack?

@hpgbproductions thanks
When you pull up, your AOA is positive, when pitching down, it’s negative.
irl it is positive when you pitch up relative to your airspeed direction. If it is opposite of the game data, just take the negative of the number
The angle at which your aircraft is pitching, relative to the horizontal airflow. Or something like that.
