Others leave the dampers on all the time and use something like 24. Your choice.

Thanks Mike. I was trying some engine out landings with the default settings. It worked very well, you hardly needed rudder. Taxi was a different story however. ;-) Very difficult to control and you needed tremendous amounts of thrust.
