That's the reason, why I'm flying most of the time "by hand" (after flying for quite some time "automatically" during my MSFS times). Would you like do let your car driving you to ... wherever? :lol: Driving (or flying) by oneself is the fun.

I've never programmed a FMC for a Flightsim. I don't prefer glass for summing either. But for real life flights in the RV6, in which I installed the two axis autopilot , adjusted it, and then programmed the GPS for it to follow........ I sometimes enjoyed sitting back, listening to the 60's on XM satellite radio, and watching the A/P do it's thing for 400 miles or so.

 

Note: I did have to manually change altitudes. But watching the auto pilot make turns in mountainos canyon areas, due to the precision of today's WAAS GPS is kind of cool.

probably in the line of what TomK promissed as a justification for the torque.

)

As far as I'm concerned, the inflight torque is removed by the force of airflow over the wings flying surface, and angle of the engine. Rudder has nothing to do with it, as it controls yaw. Do remember that my plane had perfectly aligned wings, and a straight vertical stab that required a trim tab for yaw . And the plane is too small and rigid for any elasticity. Yet, I considered it a torque monster on the takeoff roll. I'll be interested in Tom's thoghts too.

It's just been confirmed for me that the DC-9 works in p3d.

 

Will buy shortly
