I want to buy some nylon hinges for my airplane because the foam connections from the wings to the ailerons are cut pretty much...I've tried other methods to fix them with stuff like glue, but it restricts the movement of the ailerons. I found some n

Looks like an older version got uploaded this morning. If you did download it, please replace it with this version. It's the version Christof has been thoroughly testing and has all of the good bug fixes!
Here is a screen shot of the Loiter N times command working in the sim. It's pretty cool!

Thanks!

The problem is that when we
