I don't have any plans to do a 'proper' panel for the TSR-2 so please feel free to go ahead and do one. I used 'digital' instruments to cut down on the texture space requirements and because I wanted to monitor the numbers while 'tuning' the fdm. Also, I simply didn't know what a lot of the instruments did, how they worked or what they displayed, which would have made making one a rather lengthy process. > > Finally, using the rate of climb setting in the autopilot slams the elevators right back and they will not reset.

From take-off, it should manage to climb to 20,000ft w/o reheat but then you'll have to build up a bit speed before trying to climb higher. I have seen situations where the elevator appears to get locked, usually in the full-up (climb) position, even though it may be well over the target alt and should be commanding a descent. I've got to say that it takes a fair bit of 'abuse' to get it in this state - for example, forcing a vertical climb until stall using the joystick while either alt-hold or terrain-follow is operating. Toggling alt-hold usually clears this but screws up the terrain-follow separation.
