i_decay

What is i_decay?

EmuFlight has a tuning parameter called i_decay. i_decay is a powerful tool for reducing iterm windup and bounceback at the end of quick flips and rolls. Increasing i_decay means that you can run a higher i without many of the negatives associated with a high i.

How does it work?

i_decay works by taking the iterm windup which is normally accumulated during sharp moves and increases how quickly it shrinks. By increasing your i_decay you are literally increasing how quickly the iterm would naturally decrease after a windup. An i_decay of 1 actually turns off the functionality of the i_decay. An i_decay of 2 make the decrease in the iterm twice as fast while an i_decay of 5 makes the iterm decrease 5 times as fast as it normally would.
