I was just wondering on what the Simv users prefere to use while flying.

Thanks,

Jimbo

I prefere Autopilot anyway!

Hand-flying a CAT III is too hard for me

I use the autopilot for most of my flying in airliners, and for cruise in most planes. I usually hand fly landings just for practice.

I usually use it in place of pause, and sometimes on long hauls wich I dont usually do anyway. boy what a fun quiz...  ;D

I like to use the autopilot in modern airliners alot.  But because i like realism, i use the autopilot sparingly in older planes.

no i dont use it i prefer HANDS ON flying

Long hauls in passenger jets - autopilot - not the tak-off and landing though.

'real' planes like spits and other props - 100% pure hand!  ;D

  Sorry if I seem a bit thick but the question says "Do you use autopilot mainly or not?"

  WELL I use it mainly..so do I vote "YES"  meaning I do use it mainly...or MAINLY meaning the same thing?

   Clarify please for the sake of this confused old guy....commoner  :-/

What's and autopilot?

Never seen one of them...

Is the name better now!

I suppose it depends on what you fly. I wouldn't know how to switch the darned thing on.

 ......OK Jimlaaad...got it now...commoner  ;D

I thought you'd just turn to the co-pilot, and announce to him that "You have control", and swan off down the back for a G&T and a chinwag with the stewardesses...

The Tu-154 has a nice one... you can exactly determine which degree of automation you want
