Default Coordinated turns without rudder, and autopilots

Hey Anthony you butthead- your basic premise is incorrect: the autopilot in
small planes (like the Baron I've flown for around 500 hours) does not do
coordinated turns. Just because there might be some anomalous behavior in
your game does not make is so in real life.

However, so little rudder is needed at speed, it makes no difference if the
ball is halfway out, in terms of comfort. Also, a standard rate turn is not
necessarily a coordinated turn, although some of your statements suggested
that you do not know the difference.

As good as you might think it is, do not mistake the flying model of a $50
computer game with real flying. Your presumed knowledge and the basis of
your questions are obviously limited by the shortcomings of MSFS.
