Alexis My idea was to leave the default settings if no config properties were initialized so that it wouldn't affect other aircraft unless the author told it too ... As for the wing-leveler i thought it was supposed to default to 0 unless it was enabled while bank angle was 5 degrees or less ... so this should really be ROLL mode ...I see your point :) Thanks for the input !

[Flightgear-devel] Autopilot menu update
Hi all, I've added a passive mode toggle to the autopilot menu (basically an Autopilot on/off switch ). If it's unacceptable , breaks anything , just not wanted , let me know , I'll remove it .
