As usual with my aircraft, I added the following lines to the panel.cfg file:

//---------------------------------------------------------

[WindowXX]

Background_color=0,0,0

size_mm=456,310//

window_pos= 0, .60//

window_size= 0.200, 0.40 //.500

window_size_ratio=1.000

//position=6

visible=0

ident=GPS/Autopilot

Type=SPECIAL

gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 0,0,456,60

gauge01=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,60,456,240

gauge02=..\..\Maule_M7_260C\panel\Maule_M7_260C!switch_nav_gps, 0,220,30,35

This worked well as it does in other aircraft except I couldn't use the NAV/VOR function since (AFAIK) there is no way to set the tracking radial on the NAV radios. I just switch to GPS and it tracks well. I know the purists may be offended as it isn't "period correct" for the Bronco but it allows hand off flying.

I was a bit bothered that I didn't have an autopilot disconnect sound when I disengaged the A/P. I went into the sound.cfg and found the following entry:

[AP_DISENGAGE_SOUND]

filename=J41

I thought this interesting that it relied on another developer's soundfile, in this case I guess the PMDG J41. Since I don't have this addon I added the A/P WAV file from the default Bombarider Lear 45 to the sound folder. I changed the reference to read:

[AP_DISENGAGE_SOUND]

filename=laapdis

It works great.

Hope this will be of some use to you.

Regards,

Obie
