does morcosoft 2024 have autopilot

does it have autopilot

There are aircraft in MSFS 2024 with an autopilot if that’s what you’re asking.

Some flying games, like the IL-2 Sturmovik series, have a feature where the game can do all of the mission for you including take-off, combat, landing, and taxi to parking. MSFS is not one of those games.

Many MSFS aircraft have some type of autopilot instruments in their cockpit that you can engage once the aircraft is safely in the air. You'll have to know how to operate the autopilot within each aircraft. The Cessna 172's autopilot unit is easy to learn and operate, especially if you use the free version the PMS50 GTN750 touchscreen GPS as your interface instead of the default GPS unit that is built into the cockpit.

Yeah, it can. I don't use it but the game has an AI pilot that last I heard does actually work. I was quite surprised when someone was asking about sight seeing aircraft recommendations to use with it.

Mfs2020 has an AI autopilot so I'm.assuming MFS2024 will have it in some form as well.

It doesn't work well in MFS2020 but I have tested it with a few default aircraft like the a320 neo and it works OK.

Sometimes its nice to just sit back and take in the sights.

you can sit back and pretend to be a passenger, with the AI acting as pilot in ms2020, so its safe to guess we should be able to in 2024.

With 2183 hours in MSFS2020 I think it's safe to say they're just a troll.

That could just be download times.

Heh. Most autopilots in games are limited, like Gravy said.

I use Voiceattack, and I think it is IL-2 I was goofing around one day and programmed a bunch of random responses in Voiceattack when I look at the goofy looking copilot in the C-47 (who I named ♥♥♥♥) and ask some pre-programmed questions I created. The script randomly pulls one of a bunch of pre-typed responses from the Copilot, and speaks them back using text to speech. It actually doesn't sound too bad as it sorta sounds like the type of voice communications you hear in WW2 aircraft.

I had a friend who also flies IL-2 over at the house one day, and under the pretext of showing him the C-47 he was thinking of buying, I casually turned to the copilot using the head tracking and asked a question, and when he responded my buddy did a double take and was like "WTH?"5

This actually has some valid applications. In some aircraft in DCS, when I swap controls with the copilot / autopilot, he responds "I have the controls", and "You have the controls" when I take them back.
