Oh yes it does. Simple "fly this heading at this alt" one, but an AP all the same. It even understands ILS (least ways, the MAAM model does, and I have memories that the default DC-3 wasn't too different).

And because it's FS2004, it has a Garmin GPS ;D

As to the VFR/IFR question, for me, I'm going to fly the event "old school" radio nav... There's no reason you couldn't VFR it, if you have good enough scenery, or even GPS DCT.

EHM-1442 Luis:
Hi,
I need some clarification.

The first leg - SO20 - New York(KJFK) to Bellefonte(KUNV).

FS2004 has Bellefonte(N96) and University Park (KUNV).

The two airfields are very near.

In the Events section, following written instruction, that looks something like the pilots had back in the 20's, there is

' II. BELLEFONTE TO CLEVELAND. 291' / 184nm  
 0' / 0nm - University Park (KUNV), near Bellefonte '

This it mean that i must push the Dc3, from Bellefonte to University Park?...LOL....or just change the code from KUNV to N96?

Sorry for the remark ,but PP 'll notice that.

Thank you for your time and congratulations for your hard work, in benefit of all of us.

EHM-0654 Murray:
Luis

It's University Field (KUNV), and when you get there you'll be greatful for the extra runway length ;D

Basically, Bellafonte (and a few other airfields on the "official" MS Century of Flight route) is too short for the DC-3/B1900, so we've plumped for a close-by field with a decent length of runway.
