Usage:
ObjectTemplate.SetPitchOffset
number
Argument values:
| argument 1: | range is -2.5 to 5; most commonly 0.5 |
Description: This property sets the offset for additional pitch rotation for a Wing. Where SetRotation would rotate the geometry of the wing, the pitch offset rotates the wing itself. So if the pitch offset is positive, the wing would have passive lift, meaning you would not have to keep your joystick down to keep it in the air.
