Panel Troubles

I dl'd this plane today and when i installed it this is what i got. I installed the guages in the guages folder. And all the other parts, effects and sound in their respective folders. I cant figure out what i've done wrong, this is my usual way to install and all other planes i installed like this worked. There is no readme specifiying a differnet way to install it.

Heres the link to the DL. Thanks guys. I bet i've missed something blindingly obvious, like usual!!!

OK. Make sure you pasted the included fsfsconv folder into FS9\Aircraft. Overwrite files/folders if prompted. This contains a folder named DHC82PNL that the panel of this aircraft is aliased to. I think that should fix it.

Glad that fixed it. Sorry but I know nothing of autopilots & flight plans.

You have to get the aircraft properly trimmed before turning on the AP otherwise it just reverts to doing whatever it should if your joystick is in a neutral position ;)

I have tried to trim it and it makes no difference. I trimed it a bit nose up trim and nothing hapened. Does anyone else experience this problem with this plane?

try more nose up trim. make sure you set the "hold altitude" thingy to the altitude you're at.

Can anyone else who uses this model get it to hold AP correctly. I tried more nose up trim and it still sank on AP.
