I know that some people are having trouble getting Acceleration to
work right, and that it's introduced problems with previously working
systems and aircraft. But if it's working for you, and you want to
learn more about the Hornet's navigational equipment (including the
autopilot), you'll find lots of information here:

Two threads by Virtuali, who developed the systems for Microsoft, are
particularly useful:

+ F/A-18 Flight Planning tutorial
+ Autopilot and Radio explanations

This information should have been in the Learning Center, but at least
it's available.
