Thanks for making this thread sticky! :salute:
Took a deeper look into the aircraft.cfg file:
Some minor re-adjustments of several parameters were done and they really turn the Tinmouse into a nice-flying aircraft.
If anyone still is hesitating to download the whole pack and is happy with his current panel (although I strongly recommend getting the new one: The VFR view is great!), here are the altered values from the aircraft.cfg file:
