    Just wondered if the real plane does have that as the cockpit looks like it would not support ALT HOLD and V/S. My Logitech Panel allows me to use both and the AP dial seems to have a ALT HOLD function.

    I assume in the real plane you have to make sure the plane is trimmed at all times, right?

      No it doesn’t. Just Flight added the click spot for alt hold as a convenience. If you have hardware you can also use vs though you don’t have a visual in the cockpit.

      Surprisingly I hit the go around button earlier to see what would happen and the plane pitched up on its own lol which I wasn’t expecting since the ap has no vnav

        The plane they used as a reference doesn't. IRL you can upgrade it to something more modern just like the radios and GPS.
