Automated Pilot role possible?

[captain420 3,099]

In FS2Crew you can have the FO automate most of the tasks, but would be great if we can choose to play as FO or PF. If you choose to be a FO then FS2Crew will automatically take over as the PF and do everything the pilot is suppose to.

Would love to see this feature being incorporated into future FS2Crew addons. Where you can have the pilot flying automatically carry out the tasks and you can take the role of the FO instead. This would make it great for takeof and landing roles where you can focus your attention on watching the takeoff and landing as a passenger. 

It's almost impossible to watch your takeoff and landing in real time since you as the pilot is doing everything, even playing the role as an FO if not using FS2Crew. 

Is something like this possible?

It's a nice idea, but we can't make the computer fly the plane (be the PF) on a leg from A to B by itself.

We sorta tried it before, but it was highly scripted and everything had to go perfectly to avoid user intervention and our computer PF crashed a lot.

Darn, was really hoping this would be possible with MSFS. I know there's an AI mode built-in but it's not that smart either.

I've tried the AI copilot in MSFS.  He can sorta fly the plane (at least with the default planes), but he's a pretty wild pilot.

lol, wild is a good word to describe it.
