Yes the 727 has an Auto pilot but it would help if you said which model you've got?

Unfortuneately, some panels don't come with autopilot.

Boyan if you go to our downloads page you'll find a Panels section for FS9, just have a browse through as you'll find a number of 727 panels (with A/P). Pick one you like the look of and away you go

as you said it has a realistic panel   so perhaps you arnt looking for the right thing. I have noticed alot of people use the standard modern boeing AP box in almost any plane,  perhaps if you posted a pic of the panel we could help more

[simonmd]

727-200 is the actual plane model but what we need to know is who made the plane model and panel, then we can help. As BAW said, the 727 won't have a recognisable Autopilot that has it's functions all grouped together like in a 737.

Here are examples of three 727 panels,





The last one is the most acurate representation of a 727 panel, comming from the Payware Captain Sim 727. You can see that in all of them though, the main AP controls are mainly rotary knobs instead of the more common push buttons you'll see in default aircraft.

I also have the capt sim B727 aircraft and I must tell you that the auto pilot in it works a little different than auto pilots in other aircraft.
You have to use the pitch knob to get the aircraft to climb to the desired altitude then turn on altitude hold. If you try using altitude hold to climb to the set altitude it will not climb. It also does not have a GPS/NAV SWITCH on the panel you can assign a keystroke to it or put a GPS/NAV switch in the panel which is what I did.
To use auto pilot you set the desired altitude to climb to set you heading then flip the two autopilot switches in a different panel(AP) button then turn the yellow knob with the airplane on it or the pitch control knob in the AP panel to your desired climb rate. When the plane reaches the desired altitude you then turn the pitch control to level and turn on altitude hold.
This capt sim panel is not the only panel for the B727 that operates in this manner, and it will crash every time if you try to use it like other autopliots.
