That's pretty impressive, especially that Cessna climbing at 2600 fpm on the VSI on AP.

Possibly the twin JATOs just didn't map correctly to the model...

I suspect just a serious updraft was encountered.

Love it, a minimal diagnostic window, easily adaptable to aircraft specifics once you have it set up properly. The tutorial is excellent, too.

For the setup below, I killed all section lines (makes determining the mouse areas much easier), used a bold font (eyesight), prefaced clickable items by '+', and added items for a four-engined radial setup. You see the Strat flying on autopilot, turning left to a new Hdg of 100 (from 155), and climbing at 300 fpm for a target altitude of 6000 (currently passing 4621), at a comfortable speed of 215 and RPM's @ 2400.

One slight initial issue is that the window size must be arrived at by trial and error with no clues given for 4:3 displays. I'm sure this can be calculated exactly, but don't have a clue how.
