deSitter, there is a second issue that has me bemused. It's about the GIMME button. If it is supposed to give you an airplane to fly, and it is basically fly by wire, would you care to define what kind of aircraft it should mimic?
I would think that the important design point would not be with the computer system as such, rather, relatively high wing-loading in the airplane itself, so that there is built-in stability, particularly in respect to up/down drafts and turbulence.
