FSUIPC with MAAM-Sim DC-3

Just registered FSUIPC to start working out my whole simpit control setup, and I was hoping that FSUIPC could provide me with control of the Sperry autopilot. I can turn it on and off, but can't find any commands that will allow me to change the heading gyro or attitude control. Tried everything regarding autopliot, autocoordinator, heading, etc... but no joy. I'm building a 'pit primarily to minimize keyboard and mouse usage, with the eventual goal of not showing much of the panel in my main view, so this is a problem. It's easy enough to manipulate the Sperry in VC mode with the mouse, but I'd rather not.
And no, I'm not going to update  the AP- that's not why I'm flying the DC-3. No GPS, either.
Can't find much in the way of an in-depth tute on FSUIPC, either... anybody know if there is another "level" of customization available in FSUIPC?

Flying the 3 the way it was meant to be, now that earns major respect ;)

I don't use FSUIPC, so I can't answer your question, but here is the perfect place to ask it at and I know you will get a answer there.

Of course... thanks.

It's a perectly fine AP, by the way... forces you to maintain good habits, because it will only work well if you trim the plane for hands-off flight before you turn it on.
Although my 'pit will be pretty generic, the only "must haves" involve operating that MAAM-Sim model correctly. ;)
