Expo works for now. Maybe if I got into the bigger planes it would be a little more important but the small ones the expo does the job good enough. Whats so differnt about flight modes other than like 16 diffrent D/R??
With flight conditions, anything can change. Trim settings, rates, expo, mixing, etc. Basically, think of taking a model program stored in memory 1, copying it to memory 2, making any changes you so desire, then assigning a switch to go back and forth between model 1 and 2. Very powerful. Its much more than just multiple rates.
In normal flying, I want a specific set of parameters setup. But in 3D flying, everything is different as far as flight characteristics go. While in 3D, I want different rates, a different throttle curve, I want neutral for the rudder to be offset to counteract the thrust differences, I have trims set differently, and only while in 3D mode, do I want spoilers activated. Flight modes offer much more, but those are the basics.
