VEC_ANGLEMAX: Vector thrust angle max
Description
The angle between steering's middle position and maximum position when using vectored thrust (boats only).
Values
- Range: 0 to 90
- Units: deg
- Default: 0.0
Description
This parameter is used for boats equipped with Vectored Thrust (e.g., an outboard motor or an airboat with rudders behind the prop).
- Function: It tells the autopilot the physical range of motion of the steering mechanism.
- Usage: If your outboard motor can turn 30 degrees left and 30 degrees right, set this parameter to 30.
- Effect: The autopilot uses this angle to calculate the correct mixing between thrust and steering force. If set to 0, vectored thrust mixing is disabled.
