very nice, will probably install ap to help with keeping alt and heading though,
for me I think the ap is good to make up for the fact that you don't have all the controls easy to use like a real plane. (mousing or keypressing nonwithstanding. )

Ted has gotten this one nicely trimmed - I flew the other night from my little private strip on the south shore of Maui. down over the wrecks on the the north shore of Lanai and across Molokai and back up the north shore of Maui round by Hana
and back to home in the Don - at 2000foot 2050rpm +1.5 boost it trimmed up beautifully and cruised along at about 155 mph hands OFF the whole way except for the corners

This using full realism and ASv6.5all I had to do was trim in a little rudder to offset the crosswind across the Koohlaave channel so an AP is not required if flown correctly

BY the way the whole trip took about 95 minutes - there are some screenies of it over at The Pond
