I've become way too dependant on the autopilot for ILS landings in flightsim :)

And people wonder why I'm down on autopilot. :)Hook

Never normally having an autopilot in the planes I really fly, they've always seemed like a luxury to me in flight sims LOLAl

For the real RV6A , I used a two axis A/P all the time. It's not all that fun to fly hundreds of miles on a cross country by hand......when I didn't need to.In fact, when it comes to IFR capability, which my RV doesn't have......... auto-pilots are very favored because these aircraft are not sedate IFR platforms.Just a bump here or there on the stick, and it's going to roll off to the side, if you're not paying attention. My A/P is capable of flying a pre-programmedcourse from the GPS. Altitude setting is manual. Because the RV is experimental class, high tech solid state auto-pilot systems can be installed for far lessthan in certified airplanes. That's a great advantage.

HeLLoFlight, with the Maule, taught to me to trim my plane to reduce my speed and, near the runway, use the flaps.It seems more realistic than on FSX.@@++

Flight itself? Maybe nothing, but all this conversation made me try GA flying again and I like it. Not from normal airports though, but bush flying.FSX + Accu feel + Good bush flying planes + Papua New Guinea bush flying scenery = Awesome to do when I get temporarily bored of big jets and want some real challenge. They should make complete Papua scenery for Flight, then I could buy my first DLC for it.

FLIGHT has positively taught me to use a simulator for the sake of pretending I am flying a real airplane. I didn't expect this from a flightsim, and I'm feeling very upset with it, so upset I really consider going back to FSX or XPlane!!!Where's that adrenaline comming from countless ours installing and uninstalling add-ons, tweaking config files, trying compatiblity between add-ons or the 10th update in a month that finally dosen't CTD my rig?"Flying"???? Taking missions where you simulate being a pilot at the controls of a real aircraft, and you actually feel most of the real experience - less the seat of the pants one...? Is this what it brings me? Nah.... FLIGHT is no good!!!!

I do softer landings in FSX now, trying to get "Happy Passengers" with physics that arent so much "on rails" has taught me a lot!Also I'd like a tricycle plane large enough to do some jobs in, doesnt matter which... Tail dragers are high management on landings lol :)-

For those owning the A2A Piper Cub:Reading this thread reminded me of the story in the Cub's manual of the 747 captain who forgot to fly.

Reading most of the comments above suggests that Flight is a good example of the old adage "Less is more".

I would say that it give me a much more realistic GA experience than I have managed in the past. Not having AP's, GPS and so on right in the cockpit left me scratching my head and digging out flight planning tools. I now fly much more reaslistically (and get lost far too often).

Sounds like they have modeled this behavior well in Fight then!

And that is one of the biggest differences with Flight - no need to endlessly pursue that next tweak, getting that 1-2 extra fps or troubleshooting that ctd that showed up suddenly... As is evidencing by these threads here on the Flight forum - Flight is truly more about - flying.

Thanks for MS Flight I now finally know how to fly anywhere using VOR and how to reach real world approach charts. Awesome! I was FORCED to use them, really, and I love it! IN FSX I always used the GPS... boring...

It brings me a tear of joy to see how far you've come, after just sharing a few VOR radials. Who knows, some day we may call you "Captain"? :LMAO:

Flight has thought me.... I really need to go the other Hawaiian islands and explore some out of the way places. Can you drive up to the observatories on the Big Island and Maui? Kayaking the Na Pali coast needs to be on the list too, I may even get a ride is some guys Icon!
