Takeoff +5.7 works well. Cruise depends on altitude and many other variables but I am not a fan of auto-tilt but I am a fan of the GCS. Obviously the situation impacts how useful and what settings you will use. Nexrad and a storm scope with sat uplink would be very nice, but then again I got used to the G1000 setup in the TRAINERS before coming to an airliner with a radar that leaves much to be desired.
