Thanks John, I guess I could use FS Nav (as a Cessna?) now I have an autopilot.
I am not sure how I missed that AP update, I still have the pre-production aircraft on my system possibly.It will save a lot of hanging on in varying winds, take your eye of the Wessex for a second and she is all over the place.
EDIT..well that was a waste of time, the AP works as well as before (just the stab ) :roll: , there is no power on and no anunciators on the screen and FS Nav will not work. I have had a look at the panel .cfg and it does not even mention the HAP gauge. I will try and PM Jim Cooper on this later in the week.Does yours work John?

Hi Trev,

I just dropped the panel folder into the Wessex folder per instr's. I'm not sure if FSNav will 'fly the plan' if that's what you mean as I think this ap is a workaround somehow to get a sort of working ap for helo's which MS don't really cater for. It's a case of setting it up manually for heading/alt and then disconn when ready to fly the approach. I need to print out the instr's off the webpage i gave you as I keep missing the mouse areas. I can't get the 'panel' to work off the VC very well as it's small, so I use the main 2d panel when setting up the ap and disconnecting. Rest of the time it's in the VC for me. I'll have to ask DB if he can make a pop-up for the ap gauge. DAVE B where are you !!!

Rgds
