The question I pose is, How will this affect a many of the products FMA currently sells, and better yet, prjects they are working on for the future. The co-pilot does not alone fly the plane autonomously alone, but when used with the FS5, a plane can be programmed to fly a hold pattern in the event of a signal loss. Will control the throttle as well as maneuver the plane. Now this still may not be classified as autonmous, but FMA seems to be getting a hell-of-alot closer to it.
