All the best, David Under /instrumentation/attitude-indicator, there is a property call caged. Would that be what you are referring to?

Yeah -- we need to link that to something the user can get at (but again, only for aerobatic planes).

[Flightgear-devel] Properties under /orientations seem to have taken on offsets after extreme attitude
I was taking the c182 out for some tests last day, and I brought the c182 into some extreme attitudes. Afterward, I notice that the attitude indicator seems to have jammed; tilted when the aircraft is in level flight. Upon further testing, I noticed the roll rate of the indicator still corresponds to the roll rate of the aircraft. The similar problem also occurs on the c172. After some investigation, I traced the problem to properties under /orientations. The issue can be reproduced by sending the aircraft into barrel rolls and other extreme maneuvers.
