Adding Auto-Pilot

[JackieAdkins]

ok, i have alot of planes that have AP but they are so small that i cannot see the numbers and can never set it, is there anyway i can take like the stock 737 AP and install it in the plane as a seperate view and make it work? if so lease lemme know.

Sure, and it's not that hard after you learn a little panel editing.

The (extremely) basic procedure is to modify panel.cfg to add a new window:

[Window Titles]
WindowXX=Autopilot ...

[WindowXX]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2
size_mm=156,308
window_size_ratio=1.0
position=8
visible=0
ident=

gauge00=gauge24=737-400!Autopilot,  336,11,303,45

You're going to have to futz around with some of the numbers as they are completely arbitrary, and your best bet is to get cfgEdit and let it do the work.

not quite sure what you mean by , 'so small' and 'can never set it'. Never had that problem.

I can only guess that the radio stack, including AP,

Hi,

You can also import an AP from the file b737wva.zip from Jim Waters (FSFreeware / FS2002 Panels / Pag. 11). At least it is very readable. This AP comes as a popup. Info in Readme.
