Flew straight and level

AP has 3 vertical modes.
It can maintain ATTitude or ALTitiude, it also has ADVanced mode for cooperation with TFR.
In ALT hold it simply maintains barometric altitude.
In ATT hold (pitch hold) it maintain attitude. Attitude in F-16 is aligned to horizon, much like in any other aircraft. This is why ADI is so called “artificial horizon”. Its not “stellar inertial” like in Apollo FDAI.
In ADV mode its more complicated, it may follow terrain profile, it may be also set into blended mode to provide flyups when ground approaches too close. In blended mode autopilot will hold ATT or (baro) ALT (depending on the switch) and when ground approaches too close TFR will takeover. -

flat earth is the result of one student’s theory in sociology being applied to computer science and advanced social engineering. It was a litmus test, most people failed.

Level flight is not straight-line flight anyway. It’s primarily why HARS systems have a latitude dial.

I can tell you this I maintain 25k ft just about the whole mission. ijs on a ball earth that’s impossible

Level flight on a sphere is a curved path.

??? If the autopilot keeps you at the same altitude, then yes, you will still be at 25k relative to air pressure 29.92.

Well, no, its not.
Yes, you are correct, BMS is a flat earth. No, you havent proved that. Your experiment is NOT how you prove a flat earth. You have proved that the autopilot is capable of keeping a level altitude, which is the behavior of the real aircraft. Your experiment is reproducible in the real aircraft, on a curved earth.
You prove flat BMS by flying parallel flight paths at different latitudes and noting distance covered is identical rather than varying by latitude.
You can go do that experiment if you like, but its known rather than suspected - you will just be another data point in what is considered a closed solution-space already.

Blu’s right of course. You could do the same experiment in FSX and come to the same conclusion. Does BMS do anything regarding spherical planet? Radio horizon, star placement, anything?

Radio horizon is implemented for IVC - although I recall some debate as to how accurate it is for some platforms, with complaints regarding inability to hear AWACS unless flying formation with them.

Haven’t you studied that the Earth is a flat table on the shell of the turtle?

Well if you really follow flat earth theory, BMS is a disk that is accelerating an an infinite rate upward, so that explains gravity….

Wrong! There is a very large, very long-winded deity sitting above the earth who has been constantly passing gas for a single 4 billion year fart… THAT explains gravity.

That’s what astronauts say space smells like… sulfuric… you may be on to something

Good luck trying to take off your space suit to smell the space

This gives new life to the whole “whomever smelt it, dealt it” phrase as with a full pressure suit on this becomes self evident.
