Autopilot airspeed setting problem

I installed the UKMIL fsx Victor When setting the A/P airspeed it was already set for 331 knots. It cannot be set any lower than 320. The cfg says it has a/t plus arming so everything seems normal.Thought it might be a bad download so tried one from another site same fault.Tried a different a/p no change, changed the a/p cfg entry from an aircraft that I knew was good but still the same fault.Never seen this fault before its new to me.Any ideas for a fix for this?

Perhaps you can list the cfg lines
here is the cfg entry for the default Airbus
[autopilot]
autopilot_available=1
flight_director_available=1
default_vertical_speed=1800
autothrottle_available=1
autothrottle_arming_required=1
autothrottle_max_rpm = 90
autothrottle_takeoff_ga=1
pitch_takeoff_ga = 8;
max_pitch=10.0
max_pitch_acceleration=1.0
max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt=2.0
max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt=1.5
max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt_breakpoint=20000.0
max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt_breakpoint=28000.0
max_bank=25.0
max_bank_acceleration=1.8
max_bank_velocity=3.00
max_throttle_rate=0.10
nav_proportional_control=12.00
nav_integrator_control=0.25
nav_derivative_control=0.00
nav_integrator_boundary=2.50
nav_derivative_boundary=0.00
gs_proportional_control=25.0
gs_integrator_control=0.53
gs_derivative_control=0.00
gs_integrator_boundary=0.70
gs_derivative_boundary=0.00
yaw_damper_gain = 1.0

Gary. I have already tried changing the a/p cfg entry from a known good 4 engine a/c but same problem. I have installed ukmil's nimrod and the a/p is ok.When I find time will put the nimrod's entire panel in the victor and see if that cures the problem or try the victor panel into another a/c and see what happens. This fault has got my curi0sity up. First time I have run into this fault it would be nice to narrow it down. :-?

The proble was found.I installed the panel from ukmil's nimrod and the a/p speed now works fine.It must be a glitch in the original panel and I am not expert enough to diagnose what is wrong. Perhaps someone who knows better could have a look. there are two original panels that were for the different models,but both have the same problem.
