Thanks to @tomlin5412 for the auto pitch-trim and @lemoose for the slat funky tree codes.
Note: Launching from the USS Beast seems to bug out the pitch-trim and constantly leave it stuck on a nose-up attitude.
FA-18 FCS inspired concept (mainly observed from DCS). Future plans include smoothing and fine-tuning of other flight parameters + flight characteristics of the aircraft itself.
Been a long time since I've done any SimplePlanes so any comments or suggestions are welcome!
