# General FlytBase general settings are the basic configurations for the drone that the operator can set. These settings include preferences, default drone controls, advanced drone controls, and gimbal controls. {% hint style="info" %} These general settings are default set by FlytBase but can be changed as per the operator's requirement. {% endhint %} * Once the drone has been added and is online on the FlytBase dashboard, click on **Settings** from the right corner of the screen. * In **Settings**, select a drone from the drop-down box at the top left corner of the settings. Then select **generals**.

## Configuring General Settings ### Preferences * Operators can customize their FlytBase dashboard by accessing selecting their preferred language, units of measurement, and map view to optimize their dashboard experience.

### Default drone controls * The operator can use the **Default drone controls** to set the desired speed and altitude for the drone during flights.

### Advanced drone controls * To change the speed and sensitivity of the controls for manual flights, navigate to **Advanced drone controls** under the general menu in settings.

### Gimbal Controls * **Gimbal controls** allow the operator to adjust the pitch sensitivity and pan sensitivity, which determines the speed at which the gimbal will pitch and pan during a mission.

### How it works:

General Settings provide the operator with the ability to customize their dashboard as well as drone settings allowing for a personalized experience during drone operations.
