.AIR Files by Section

In this section I will attempt to share what I have learned about individual .air file parameters as they relate to the 206 based flight model in flight simulator.

In some cases, it is very difficult to describe the behavior of one parameter without including how it interacts with other parameters. I will try to strike a balance between brevity, and providing you with enough information about the relationships to guide you in the right direction and save you a lot of unnecessary hassle.

If I happen to have a significant amount of "additional information" covering a particular parameter, I'll do my best to share the concrete information first, and then go into the "extra stuff" afterwords.
