Hi folks, first post here, and i have a question about the autopilot.
now i aint a major realist like many who play this game, i play for fun. not cause its a great recreation of flying. which means i spend a lot of my time in autopilot, and when needing to take the stick myself end up jumping around the sky as if i was having a stroke during the flying in most of the aircraft.
for example the F-18.
so i ask, does this thing have an autopilot that doesnt take several years of military training to work out?
and if not, how do i add one?
cheers!

I would suggest that you try to find a aircraft that all ready has a autopilot rather than adding one to a aircraft that does not as this could get tricky and could involve more than just adding the gauges to the aircraft. 8-) I would not say that it can not be done but that it might be more to than you are prepared to do.

well yeah, i had thought of that :P
the adding of the stuff aint the issue, the flying is.
so i take it from your answer there is no autopilot on the thing? i ask as there is a button marked AP. which confuses me lol

There is an autopilot in the Acceleration Hornet.
I would suggest checking out this forum board specifically for the hornet to learn about the advanced features, specifically the avionics....
