New page

3DMaster mode is key for achieving the best performance from Spirit for all those that wish to fine tune their models to superb characteristics.
There is no compromise anymore in flight performance. Everything can be tweaked to the greatest detail.

Main features are:
*Parameters can be configured separately for each axis (Gain, Rate, Feed Forward)
*Access to PID Regulation
*Swashplate parameters are extended

==Enabling 3DMaster mode==
In the Spirit Settings you can turn it on at the Advanced menu/Expert/Other page.
Starting from 4.0.3 version 3DMaster mode is available for all Spirit units.

 '''<translate>Swashplate Dampening</translate>'''<br /><translate>For reducing odd effects of too high Swashplate Integral, hard or slow mechanics pilot can increase the Dampening value. It is mainly helpful for sharp maneuvers for avoiding odd oscillations or a bounce back effects at the Swashplate. With this parameter you can achieve a crisper and precise Swashplate stopping. Recommended is to set the value only as high as really needed. Too high value will result in unstable behavior, because higher value is increasing decay rate of Integral. If no stopping issues are observed even with 0, it is recommended to leave at 0. Higher value will also reduce reaction time of stopping.</translate>
