Hi all, I'd prefer an option to save manually (e.g. File > Save flight) and an option (in some menu) to enable autosave and define the number of minutes (with a text box or a slider) between two autosaves, like it's done in many games. In that way, the user keeps total control and (auto)saving is only done when the user wants it.
