Maybe I'm not getting this. You want to watch a video, but not fly the plane.

You say you're not a good enough pilot to make the video yourself.

Without being to harsh here, don't worry about making a video and learn to fly your aircraft?

There are a ton of videos already out there to watch or learn from. 

Confused as to why you would get into this hobby without the intent to at least learn something from it. 

You'll only get out of this what you put into it, Sorry.

Just learn how to start, taxi, and takeoff a PMDG 737, 747, MD-11, or Level-D 767 and once you take off and retract gear and flaps you can set VNAV and LNAV and the plane does almost everything else.

I want an auto fly add-on because I'm not a good pilot and do not want to do too many tasks for an airplane at the same time. It is not easy to fly an airplane.

Why dont you start witht eh built in FSX tutorials.. There actually REALLY good, not rushed, and you can redo each one as much as you want, and by the end of it, a lot fo the basics will just come naturally. In order to get good at anything in life my friend, requires practice... You wont be able to fly an NGX right off the bat, heck I can barely manage it (In real life it takes 2 pilots with hundreds of hours of flying) so start slow, with the basics, then follow the FSX tutorials on navigation and other things once your comfortable.

There are a couple, three add on BIRDS. If flying an airplane is too much of a problem, could flapping of wings work for you? There's a seagull, maybe an eagle, I don't recall all the flappable flyers. But it is an alternative!

 

And if you happen to see some green Camaro sitting some where... bombs away!!!

Reminds me of a little while ago when I was trying out X-Plane and accidentally selected 'AI flies Aircraft' from the drop down menu. Particularly unfortunate since I had no idea such a option existed. It probably only took about 30 seconds for my brain to realise what might be taking place, but you'd be amazed how many buttons you can press in a cockpit in half a minute when you're desperate...<br /><br />

 

If I just want to watch, I'll turn on the TV.

 

Or look at all the excellent videos in the AVSIM Flight Video forum or on YouTube.

 

Best regards,

Been gone for a couple of years, and building a new PC to come back to FS. Is this really what FS has come to? Been flying since 2001. Really miss the good old days of AVSIM.

Maybe I should stick to sim racing.

If personally recording a flight is too much work, the Level-D B767 package contains an autoland "tutorial", which begins with the aircraft configured for approach and concludes with an autoland. If you are satisfied with watching the same autoland repeatedly, I suppose this would be one of the easiest solutions. 

I think Xplane 10 allows this...

Wow. Really miss the good old days of FS2000. That was a fun time to come to AVSIM. It's going to take a lot of convincing to bring me back to FS. Just started to look around the forums and I can't see any of the familar people. Did they all quit?

That was a long time ago but theres still people here that you'll recognize I hope.

 

Avsim is still a nice place to hang out just don't focus on the small minority of bad posts or arguing (it's good natured most of the time)

 

We're a good group of people here :)

 

Regards

if flightsim users want to fly from the United States to China, it would be difficult to play for that long, so auto fly add-on would be nice for long trips like this.
