I haven't had this problem in trying to understand these values, but maybe I've just been programming too long. :-) To me, items under the "controls" category intuitively indicate the potential value within a range of -1 to 1 (except sometimes its 0 to 1!). Calling them something isn't really going to increase the understanding of their meaning or use. Other items such as /autopilot/config/elevator-adj-factor and autopilot/config/integral-contribution have no semantic meaning to someone who isn't looking at the autopilot code. Perhaps "integral-contribution" does have a meaning, but you still need to look at the code to see where it is applied...in effect "asking what it is". On the other hand it is really useful to be able to look at a number and know if it is fpm, fps, or knots! Anyway, thats all I have to say. Think I've already overextended my 2 cents worth!
