60| USER MANUAL
Decrease this value if ALTA experiences vertical oscillation or vibration. Increase
this value if ALTA is sluggish while accelerating to a desired climb or descent rate in
Height mode.
HOLD STRENGTH
Hold Strength Gain tunes how much ALTA will attempt to stay on a desired altitude
in Height Hold mode only. A higher value will result in height being held more
precisely. Too high of a value can cause ALTA to overreact to winds, gusts or
turbulent air.
CLIMB RATE STRENGTH
Climb Rate Strength adjusts how much ALTA will attempt to maintain a desired
climb rate. Higher values will result in a more direct feel between pilot climb or
descent commands and ALTA flying behavior. However, values that are too high may
cause instability.
POSITION TUNING
Tuning position parameters will adjust how well ALTA maintains a desired ground
speed or a position over the ground. Similar to attitude and height tuning, the
primary value to adjust is stiffness.
HORIZONTAL STIFFNESS GAIN
This changes the horizontal stability of ALTA. Higher values increase ALTA’s
resistance to wind gusts or turbulence from moving ALTA off its target position.
Values that are too high can cause instability of ALTA.
HOLD STRENGTH GAIN
This adjusts how much ALTA will attempt to maintain its place over a target position.
A higher value will result in position being held more precisely. If too high, positional
instability can result, causing ALTA to fly past a target position.
