Controlling X-Plane from LabVIEW - Part 3: Basic Proportional Control
Channel: Adam Bellchambers
Date: 2017-02-24

This is the third in a series of videos on implementing a control system in LabVIEW to control an aircraft in X-Plane. In this video we are going to compare our measured pitch value with a setpoint chosen by the operator, and use the difference between the two to drive our elevator deflection. This creates a basic proportional control system. 

We will then take a brief look at how changing gains changes the response of the system.
