Need help with FS2002 Panel Add-Ons

Hello all. I need help with some panels. I downloaded this one for a 737-800 Next Generation in FS2002: http://www.surclaro.com/download.php?op ... 37ngpa.zip

and the panel for the default 737-400 in FS2002, the one by Emmanuel Tobias named the "737-300/400/500 Panel."

I'm having issues with the Autopilot. For some reason, all the values for altitude hold, heading hold, course and speed all go in increments of 1000 (for altitude), and 10 for heading, course and speed hold, instead of the usuall increment by 100 for altitude and increment of 1 in course, heading, a speed.

Can anyone please help me with this? Why is it doing this etc

I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

you might find it easier to use a panel from the default 737. just copy it delete the one you downloaded and paste it over.

For FS2002 ONLY.  Find a copy of FSUIPC 2.974 (or the latest version 2.xx you can find - NOT 3.x).  It has a fix for this.

I put int 2.975 and it still goes in increments of 1000 for altitude and 10 for heading, course, and speed. I restored the default 737 and that works, however, the 737-800 panel does not and is the same. I tried to reconfigure the config of the panel so that it shared the same guage files for the autopilot and still no success.

It doesn't fix itself.  You have to apply the fix.

When I try and change the heading or course settings using some addon panels, the bugs move in ten degree jumps. How can I fix this?

Download Pete Dowson's freeware FSUIPC utility (fsuipc.zip) and check the 'Fix Control Acceleration' box in FSUIPC once you have reloaded FS2002. Once installed, FSUIPC can be accessed via FS2002's 'modules' menu.
