	How do I get the aircraft to follow a GPS flight path? Assuming that it is able to because there is a GPS in the cockpit.

	Set the NAV/GPS mode to GPS. I have added the default C172 switch to the 727 A/P to be able to do this. I made the following changes in the panel.cfg for all the models (100/200/100F/200F): [Window03] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=447,106 position=2 visible=0 ident=10005 gauge00=Captain_Sim.p721.P12!P12_001_ap, 0,0, 427,106 gauge01=Cessna!Nav_GPS_Annunciator, 0,0,20,20 gauge02=Cessna!Nav GPS Switch, 0,20,20,20 Hope this helps.

	Hmmm... I'm seeming to have trouble locating the NAV/GPS switch in the cockpit.. where is it at?

	My bad. I made a boo boo. The change should look like this: [Window03] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=447,106 position=2 visible=0 ident=10005 gauge00=Captain_Sim.p721.P12!P12_001_ap, 20,0, 427,106 gauge01=Cessna!Nav_GPS_Annunciator, 0,0,20,20 gauge02=Cessna!Nav GPS Switch, 0,20,20,20 I left out that 20 in the change to gauge00. I have actually reduced the size of all my 2D Panels, which is why I made the error. If you want to reduce the size of the 2D panels, let me know and I'll show all the changes I made to them. Mark

	No worries. Sorry about missing that one small bit. It's amazing what a difference a 0 compared to a 20 makes.

Mark Mark, do I just copy and drop this into the Aircraft folder under Simobjects? Do I erase any thing or copy over? I understand the smart thing to do is create a new folder then make the changes. Once done, copy the original to desktop and place the modified folder into the simobjects folder. Really don't wan to screw things up..........thanks Otto.

	That's a good question, Otto, but all you have to do is go to your 727 Captain folders in your SimObjects/Airplanes folder and make the changes to the aircraft CFG. I recommend backing-up all of your aircraft cfgs before you edit them.

	Hi Otto. Firstly. As NNewcomb says, backup the original panel.cfg. Then delete the [Window03] entry and replace it with all of this: [Window03] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=447,106 position=2 visible=0 ident=10005 gauge00=Captain_Sim.p721.P12!P12_001_ap, 20,0, 427,106 gauge01=Cessna!Nav_GPS_Annunciator, 0,0,20,20 gauge02=Cessna!Nav GPS Switch, 0,20,20,20 That's the only change you need to make. It should look like this when done: Mark

	when you saved the panel.cfg are you sure you did not save it as panel.cfg.txt as this can be a common problem with vista or windows 7. Also thanks for posting this Mark as ive just brought the freighter pack so i can use the 727 with Airhauler
