Helicopter Autopilot / Gauge for FS 2004

Hi all,

I just downloaded a good autopilot / gauge for helicopters in FS 2004
from Flightsim.com (An AS variant I believe, familiar to the one in
the Griffon I flew a few years ago). Its pretty good, but a bit
cumbersome to manipulate without a callup button on the "dashboard".
Its also very LARGE on the screen.

I do appreciate the effort that went into it but does any know of an
autopilot addon that may be smaller, esier to operate? Maybe even
some help in shrinking this one down and putting a custom call button
like the GPS button. Sorry for my lack of hacking / modding skills,
but I am learning. Sure would appreciate the help.

TIA

Joe

1/ I recommend a programme like CFGEdit which works very well in
the CFS & fs2000/2002 genres. I haven't tried it on a fs2004 yet!

2. You could try opening the Panel.cfg file in which you placed
it. Find the entry that refers to the gauge in question and alter the
size direct - this works but can be dicy until you get used to doing
it. Don't forget to backup your original first.

3. If either of these two frighten then simply open the window
and resize like any other 'windows' window (go to any edge and your
curser will change shape to facilitate change)!

Enjoy!

Hello Peter, Joe,

One thing to note here. CFGEdit works well with dll based gauges e.g. gauges
with a *.gau extension. It can't handle gauges written in *.xml e.g. gauges
with a *.cab extension. Also be aware that when saving a panel some sections
in the panel.cfg don't get copied. Notably the color section if there. This
is in fs2k2 so it'll probably be the same in fs2k4.

Just some additional info...;-))
