You need a fair amount of rudder to handle yawfor example in a typical
light
general aviation type airplane to execute a coordinated turn entry and
exit.


So how does the autopilot do it? As far as I understand, autopilots in
small
aircraft don't generally have control over the rudder, and yet they can
execute coordinated turns.


What in the world makes you think that an autopilot can make a "coordinated"
turn without using the rudder if a pilot can't? That's complete and utter
nonsense.

If you have "observed" this then, either A) Your simulation falls a bit
short in terms of simulating how the simulated autopilot works - I assume
it's easier to program a simulated autopilot without adding the "make it
appear un-coordinated" feature. Or, B) You only think that the autopilot
does a much better job than a pilot does - perhaps you are a bit ham-fisted
with your simulation - without ever being in in airplane, it would be easy
to not realize what you are doing given the lack of feedback and the fact
that no one has ever "flown" with you - I find that I "overcontrol" when
flying a sim...

Presumably a pilot can; I want to know how. And nobody has been able to tell
me thus far.

Or (C) nobody here has a clue and nobody wants to admit it, even though their
argument among themselves makes it obvious.

Do you know how it's done, or don't you?

BS, you're just trying to fuel the nit fest.

Rest assured, if some of the most vocal posters here actually knew the correct
answer, their egos would compel them to immediately provide it for all to see.
It's much more satisfying to such people to post a correct answer than it is
for them to pretend they have the answer and just don't want to reveal it.

Nope, I know and i'm not going to tell you because it would be a wast e of
time, wheras i get a great deal of enjoyment form calling you a fjukkwit.

Besides, some have actualy posted the correect answer and because of your
autistic view of the world you can't see it.

Fjukkwit.

Or most posters have decided that you are such an arrogant, self-righteous,
nit-picking, trolling, whinny, thick-headed, obnoxious snot you can
go **** up a rope.
