How does the computer know when you *want* to slip?

When you move the controls in such a way to indicate that you want
slipping.

If you flew, you'd know how silly that comeback is.

I have flown, though never slipped.

I received 3 responses to my imaginary-flying-car, and one thing they
all have in common is that they presume that the basic design of such
a vehicle would be, more or less, a Cessna, tweaked to add the
features I listed. As I mentioned before, I would not do that.

The car you want was designed and built by Francisco Scaramanga many years
ago. He started with a car, specifically an AMC Matador, and modified it
so it could be flown as well as driven.

That's right, PC sims don't have crosswind. My mistake.
