'''IT-AUTOFLIGHT''' is a modular, light, and advanced airliner autoflight | '''IT-AUTOFLIGHT''' is a modular, light, and advanced airliner autoflight framework for FlightGear. The purpose of IT-AUTOFLIGHT is to provide a system for other airliner developers to use as a stable base for their autopilots. Examples of custom IT-AUTOFLIGHT installations are shown off in the [[MD-11]] and [[A320-family]] amongst others. | ||
