• Inverted flight now results in rotor overspeed instead of underspeed
• Flight Model: AFCS OFF will no longer do turn coordination
• Flight Model: Adjust arcade mode to not have the new hover domain effects
• Flight Model: Add a weathervaning tendency (reminder on aircraft limits: do not exceed 30kt crosswind to avoid loss of TR authority)
