Counts upto 2000ft/min which is not a lot in simpleplanes terms, so you can easily change it by changing the rotators code to whatever your heart desire. To do that write clamp(rate (Altitude / insert number in meters per sec here) , -1, 1) in the input field.
This one lacks the flashy touch cause it was made in hurry for another project

    @MrCacahuate The code you are referring to is the old one @Jamesplanesii used in his VSi but if you look into the comments I think he mentioned the new code with rate function aswell.

    Bro, thanks a lot, I was having trouble with the code for the input.

    They usually use some kind of combination with TAS, IAS and GS times sin of pitch minus aoa.

    But with the function rate you save a lot of time and it's more intuitive xD
