[C#]

// Get the acceleration type
IAgAvtrAircraftAcceleration acceleration = aircraft.Acceleration;
// Get the build in performance model
IAgAvtrAircraftBasicAccelerationModel basicAccModel = acceleration.GetBuiltInModel();

// Get the level turns options
IAgAvtrLevelTurns levelTurns = basicAccModel.LevelTurns;
// Set a max bank angle of 25
levelTurns.SetLevelTurn(AgEAvtrTurnMode.eTurnModeBankAngle, 25);
// Get the climb and descent transition options
IAgAvtrClimbAndDescentTransitions climbAndDescent = basicAccModel.ClimbAndDescentTransitions;
// Set the max pull up G to 1
climbAndDescent.MaxPullUpG = 1.2;
// Get the attitude transition options
IAgAvtrAttitudeTransitions attitudeTransitions = basicAccModel.AttitudeTransitions;
// Set the max roll rate to 25
attitudeTransitions.RollRate = 25;

// Get the aerodynamics
IAgAvtrAircraftAero aero = basicAccModel.Aerodynamics;
// Use simple aerodynamics
aero.AeroStrategy = AgEAvtrAircraftAeroStrategy.eAircraftAeroSimple;
// Get the options for the simple aerodynamics and set some parameters
IAgAvtrAircraftSimpleAero simpleAero = aero.ModeAsSimple;
simpleAero.SRef = 5;
simpleAero.ClMax = 3.1;
simpleAero.Cd = 0.05;

// Get the propulsion
