Hi Miko,
The ProPilot system doesn't change anything on your flight simulator.
We don't set variables on the game. We just obtain the variables from it. So, it's impossible that the ProPilot system can do anything on your system described by the behaviour that you talk.
Giving some answers to what you said:
"It seems to be part of the game to impact into mother earth quite often and to be "punished" for mistakes the pilot ist not responsible for."
Well, fortunately you are ;D. As I told we don't change or input anything on the system, so the pilot is totally responsible for all the flight manouvers.
"I hate "stress" while simming, I do not want to join a sort of rivalry [...]"
Well, the ProPilot system is not designed to cause stress. It was made so you can have fly more professionaly and on a more close to reality game ;) ... Logically there is a little anxiety connected to it, but the day you start to gain stress, you start to hate it.
We respect all the pilots decisions. But in this matter I personally think you are over-reacting a bit and I should recomend you to do more flights on it until you can see if you really like it or not ;) ...
I already crashed a bunch of airplanes and I still, if the flight permits it, always fly on ProPilot.
Safe flights,

As a newbie to EHM and PP, I have to admit some frustration with flying on PP. However, my frustration is with my abilities and not the PP system. To be totally honest, I though I was a better pilot on FS9 than I am. Every penalty that I have received has been my fault. I think the most important thing I have learned is that even with the difficulty set fully high, FS9 is very forgiving. All this time, I thought my landing were good if it didn't register as a crash. With PP, I have found different. My FAC is about 179 right now and that higher number is mostly due to hard landings and one crash. My crash was on the recent event from a runway that truly stretched the abilities of the aircraft and myself so I don't dwell on the fact that I crashed. I do take pride in the fact that I was able to go back and successfully depart from the runway without crashing, though.
All that said, I agree that flying on PP is not relaxing but I don't think that was the intent. I do enjoy flying on PP because I think it is improving my flying skills and it is a challenge. I have learned that if I am distracted, stressed, or medicated:] that I do not need to fly PP as I will make mistakes. If I am looking for a fun flight with little challenge and no stress, I just fly in normal mode and enjoy myself. The most important thing at an VA is to have fun and fly! If you are doing something that you find not to be fun, don't do it or you will evnetually quit flying here and I don't think anyone wants to see that happen.
So do what makes you happy as that is the whole point of being here.

Well, Steven, you're better than me that has a FAC of about 290 ;D ...
And I underline your words for all of us :) .. Definately they describe the way we need to feel the ProPilot better than my post :).

You know the PP-Software and I don't doubt what you are writing - but it seems a little bit contradictory that PP obviously engages the crash detection (on the final or during the whole flight?) - and disengages it afterwards - is that no change?
O.K. you say it is not true what is written in the PP documentation that there are further fault surprises done by PP except the switching on of the crash detection. I did not know that.
It is allready frequently discussed and I only repeat whats allready said: If you fly online on IVAO or VATSIM you cannot do this without switching off the crash detection.
MSFS itself, several sceneries and the complexity of the addon aircraft are too unreliable to allow a crash detection. You can crash with unvisible objects, other planes right at the moment you connect and position yourself at a gate.
Sure there are pilot mistakes to that can cause a crash - but a certain inaccuracy must be tolerated if you do the job of two pilots in front of your computer without being punished.
I can understand why others fancy PP - Matt described it very well - perhaps I have to improve my ability not to be offended so quickly before I make a second approach to PP ;)
Nice Sunday especially to those who are lucky to be at the IFC in Birmingham today.

I thought that PP switches on the crash detection after takeoff??
