Upload the jpg screenshot to www.tinypics.com and paste the forum URL onto this topic,

The autopilot as a popup window would just bypass the test for an fsx aircraft, It is a real shame about it as it does unfortunatly cut down the realism quite a bit when you have to bring up 2d gauges onto the screen; but its understandable why this sort of thing has to be done.

I will see if I can contact the author by email tommorow and see if I could get any help from him... But the chances may be pretty grim of an answer   :(

but It is still impressive you managed to get a read out as my placment number combinations just seems to have an infinate amount of possibilities.

I've downloaded several pics of the A318 cockpit and a few other freeware panels to see if anything will work. Is there anywhere where I can get a diagram of this cockpit that shows labels for what and where each gauge is?

,Do you mean the real a318 cockpit or the fs one?

-If you mean the real one then I will upload some pictures, I do work experience at airbus so if there is nothing I can find on the web I can easily get a copy of the original plans on their intranet (atleast I think so).

-If you mean the fs one then unfortunatly I have been looking everywhere for any information on this aircraft but it seems to be clear that the information was supplied on their website and no where else but of coarse the website doesnt seem to be working anymore.... so we seem to have dug ourselves into a ditch

I've got some nice pics of the real thing I just need to know what most of the gauges are called on the airbus, it seems(at least in the world of MSFS) that 1 gauge can be called a half dozen different names, so to speed up the substitution process it would help to know what goes where, A diagram would be awsome, I'm hoping to get it as close to the real thing as I can within the limitations of this VC. ;)

Hi
I am sorry about the late reply, but I am unable to get the resources that you need, getting a phot of the cockpit is easy but the contol names etc is meant to be kept withing the premesis and I am unfortunate enough tto be in a department which isnt allowed to gain access to them. It will have to be a bit of guess work to find where they all are   :(
