Hey guys!  

Yesterday i bought the Captain Sim Boeing 727 and its great, but i have one problem, I don't know how to use those old autopilots.
I don't want to change the panel becuase its amazing, so I was wondering if you, with a little editing in the panel.cfg, could maybe transfer an autopilot gauge from the lear or the 737 or whatever?

It would require that you alter the panel. I do not think that you could alter the autopilot just by editing the aircraft cfg file. But I have never tried it. I would first back up the orignal file than try pasteing auto pilot lines from one of the planes you mentioned. I would be surprised if it works but I am not sure.

No offense, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of the aircraft?

Get out that manual from Capt. Sim and start reading.

There is supposed to be a lot of info in the manual about the autopilot.  I've downloaded the Captain Sim 727 manual (its free), but when I found out it wasn't going to help with the freeware 727 I've got, I decided not to spend any time reading it.   Those old school autopilots are not very intuitive, and you definitely need some sort of instruction on them.

Yeah Maybe it does, but I really want it bad!!
