I must admit, my one exception to my penchant for "realism" in this sim is an autpilot function.Not so much to let it fly the plane such as making turns etc but to use to keep plane level(since can never seem to get it to trim out right) and can get up while plane is flying in real time(okay time compression at times) . I added an excellent new panel for OH TBD Devastator but lost the AP function.How would I add an autpilot? Just one to hold altitude and heading.I know some WW II planes had a limited AP, but no aware of fighters that did.Anyways, that is my question.

Adding autopilot?

The program in this attachment is old, but will add a simple - heading and altitude - autopilot to any plane that doesn't already have one. Also CFO_Weather_75 has an autopilot function, but it is more complicated to set.

It's simple
Open your panel.cfg and add this lines:
Window02=Radio Stack Panel
[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=303,46
window_size_ratio=1.00
position=0
visible=0
ident=radio_stack_panel
window_size= 0.400, 0.100
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000
gauge00=737-400!Autopilot, 0,0,303,46
