hand landing is better to do. After all, if we just let the computer do everything all the time there wouldn't be much of a reason for us to
exist,
would there be?

Yes, it would! We had to exist, to build, program and operate computers, wouldn't we?

If you read my post I was talking about "we flyboys", not the computer engineers.

Actually many airliners cant land without an auto land. To tell you the truth airliners land more often with auto land than manuel land. Its
very hard to manuel land a plane. Just because in FS all you do in aim the plane for the runway, in real world they have to keep checking
their panels make sure they have a good air speed. They cant do that with them having to worry about manuel landing a plane. Thats why
most of them use auto land.

Completely wrong. All airliners MUST be able to land without autoland. Pilots nearly always do manual landings. especially here in the US. What do you do when you're landing a cessna or a piper in real life? They don't have autoland. You have to keep holding your airspeed all the way down. Come on man use your head
