Documented highlights

Wing sweep has automatic and manual controls

Laminar’s guide describes an automatic sweep mode, manual forward and aft commands, a bombing position and a guarded emergency handle. These are separate controls to explore in the simulated cockpit.

Stabilisation is a prerequisite for the autopilot

The manual requires the pitch, roll and yaw stability-augmentation channels before autopilot engagement. Heading hold uses the attitude at stick release rather than a conventional selected-heading turn command.
