Ju-88 autopilot problem

[SSI01]

Installed KM's Ju-88 series and am running into a problem. Gauges come with the aircraft and were installed into FS9. I have done this with numerous CFS2 aircraft and have never experienced problems. After choosing the aircraft and before beginning the flight process a dialog box opens that stated the gauges from the aircraft may be disabled but the aircraft will load - do you still want to load these gauges? I say "yes" and proceed with the process. The aircraft is an excellent hand-flyer. After getting it up to an altitude I want to turn the autopilot on at, I hit the "on" switch and the aircraft goes into gyrations in the horizontal and vertical planes before it becomes absolutely uncontrollable. Attempts to input altitude into the autopilot result in it (relatively) holding its altitude, but there is considerable yaw and a violent "snaking" motion to the aircraft. I've read the instructions relating to the autopilot, they apply whether you're flying the bomber, destroyer or night fighter version of the aircraft. However, they have absolutely no effect on this aircraft's autopilot. I have to switch the autopilot off and hand-fly the aircraft at all times, which makes things a little difficult when wanting to view it from outside the cockpit periodically. I'd like to install another aircraft's autopilot if necessary to fix this problem but not sure what to do next.

In the panel cfg, comment out the entries below in red. That should fix the autopilot.

Also, the CFO_REFUEL_DUMP gauge does not work in FS2004 (never has for me anyways). You should comment that one out as well.

OK, will do and report results.

Flies beautifully now, both by hand and with autopilot. Thanks for the panel config edits!!
