The 2S2 powered C++ quadrant is night and day to the C+. It couldn't possibly be simpler. Off, Idle, FLY. No more dual track, blue & amber light shows, or mixed mode.

Manual mode training switch is in same place, but FADEC controls when it will "allow" you to select manual control. Unlike the C+, you can't exceed any limits while training. The FADEC takes back control if you screw up (lowering collective with high power set).

Of course, if the DECU really gives up, it's blue-light-ops same as C+, but with incr-dinker thumb switch on collective.
