Wait a god damn minute, I just flew the sim and basically loaded a flight plan in and the FS Maule had all kinds of fancy nav equipment like coupled autopilot/gps etc with altitude and heading hold, things my wee real world vfr Maule can only dream off.
But what i find really amazing is that Microsoft have the gall to imply by making it seem so easy that you could put any dip**** in the left seat with all that fancy equipment and as long as they could firewall the power, lift the nose then hit the autopilot on with the flight plan loaded all they would have to know was how to retract the flaps, set the power and gab with ATC while chatting up the stewardesses, and the plane would do everything else for them !! I mean really, what a slur on the professional pilot there must be so much more to it?
