Extra functions are implemented in the autopilot for in-flight refuelling, spin recovery, interception and formation flight.
Wouldn't be that hard. You just need to modify the IT-AUTOFLIGHT Nasal file to extrapolate the gains further than the current 350kts, which we use for the high speed gains. (near VMO in most airliners, which ITAF was designed for) also the VS gain in the xml.
Extra modes are also easy to do. You just add a new number conditional statement to the setVertMode method in the ITAF class, for a new mode. All the rest of the system is designed with support for new modes in thought.
Kind Regards,
