Sorry for the stupid question, but what’s the terminology for making a drone fly like an airplane, banking on turns. I believe my DJI Spark had that capability. And my last question is, is the Air 2S capable of that?
 
I have a MA2 and the setting is under the control tab in the fly app by pressing the the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen.

FPV mode will allow the camera to swing LOCK the gimbal as if flying in a plane.

I think that's what you're looking for if it's available on the Air 2s. 🤔

You’re absolutely correct. I just found the terminology I was looking for, “Fixed Wing Mode”. Apparently, they now call it the “FPV Mode”. But, flying in FPV Mode fixes the camera instead of letting it rotate, giving one the feeling that they are flying in a plane. Here’s a good video I just found regarding the subject if anyone is interested.
