    @Croozlul Also, if I'm being honest, your screenshots are quite a lot better than mine.

    @Croozlul As for the fly-by-wire system, it can get really complicated. In fact the fly-by-wire expressions I write are pretty simple compared to some other ones I’ve seen. This is the one I wrote for this build (right below).

    (Activate8 = true?(Pitch0.3 + Roll-0.3 + Trim0.1 + AngleOfAttack/65 - PitchRate0.005 - RollRate0.001):0) + (Activate8 = false?(Pitch0.5 + Roll-0.45 + Trim0.1 + AngleOfAttack/50 - RollRate0.0001 - PitchRate0.005):0)

    I just wrote this, copied and pasted it into the hinge rotators’ input controllers. It can also be used on control surfaces too. To learn how to write fly-by-wire expressions, I recommend watching this; it was made by Guyfolk. He also made this which should also help. I also recommend taking a look at other builds to see how everything works.

    @Croozlul There are better ways to do this but I just take screenshots and then upload them into Canva, edit them, and then I just take screenshots of those. It's sort of a tedious process so that's why I said there are better ways of doing it, I'm just too stubborn and used to using this method to actually change the way I edit my screenshots.
