Default Coordinated turns without rudder, and autopilots

But autopilots apparently do not, and that's what puzzles me.


Autopilots in simulators do not. Actual (that's opposite of virtual)
light aircraft need a rudder. If you turn the yoke, the plane will
bank, turn and eventually become coordinated, but for a while in
the interim, you'll be flying uncoordinated.

Some of these differences are why I disregard anything you may say,
correct or not, because you don't understand the basics of actual
flight regardless of how much of a master h4xor you are in the
simulator.
