Well..
There are principially two types of AP -
1) the default FS9 AP, which tries to keep the parameters, that you have dialed despite all.
2) I call it 'Pitch machine' - that type of AP would hold the desired pitch angle, or affect the pitch angle to maintain the required IAS, or ALT.
Usually that 'pitch machines' are set up on the old aircrafts.
In my oppinion the second type of AP is EXTREMELY useful for the sim pilot as it helpes him/her to feel the dynamics of flight. And for me personally
that is MUCH more fun to balance the pitch machine during climb or descent.
The good example, together with the PERFECT manuals, can be found at http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/
P.S. the only model, that I know, which makes the PERFECT autoland is Vickers VC10, which can be found there. I prefer to flare any other model
manually, which helpes to reach much better landing results.
