vizzy pich in degrees or not?

I've got a plane.

I've created a very simple thing; auto take-off.

I'm trying to "set pitch" of the craft to lift the nose.

In vizzy, the "help" instruction (the one displaying when selecing the "set pitch" on the left) tells me it's in degrees. However, when I try and enter "20" into the box, I'm getting an error; "the value must be between -1 and 1".That'd not be an issue if it was working - but it's not. 0.2 does nothing. It probably does require a degree.

So this maybe a case of an erroneous check on the input variable, unless I'm mistaken.
