Thanks for the GPS Fix.     All is well except for my 100&200 Fs.   Now I have the GPS switch, but no Autopilot panel. I tried the fix twice --still no AP panel.   ??   Help !!! .

Hi seejay.

Can you please copy your [Window03] and paste here? If I can see what is written there, I can show you how to fix it.

Hi seejay.

[Window03] etc... looks fine.

What happens when you press SHIFT+4? Do you see anything at all?

This is not the panel for the 727-100 is it? This is the panel for one of the Expansion Models isn't it? It is the only reason I can think of that would make it disappear.

Try this instead and see if this works.:

[Window03]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=447,106
position=2
visible=0
ident=10005
gauge00=..\..\CS_B727-100\panel\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

The bold text is what needs to be added so that the 727-200/100F/200F have to access the AP in the 727-100\panel folder.

I think this will fix the missing AP problem.

Great. I'm glad we sorted that out.

From now on, I'll have to remember to include instruction for those who want to add that sort of thing to Expansion Models. So in some ways you pointed out something that I had forgotten about. Thanks.

Excellent edit Mark! The GPS/NAV switches next to the a/p look much better there thna underneath as they were before. I have the switches installed as well on my GPS panel,and althought it might look silly,the position make all the difference.

Unfortunately, Bernardo, I think you got the first one I did for the 727 (quite a long time ago). This is a newer one. Mine is actually smaller than the one that I pasted in here, which I can do if you like. It takes up less of the screen than the default sized A/P with the NAV/GPS switch/

In fact I shrunk all of my 2D gauges in my 727-100/200/100F/200F. Looks better in my opinion. Wink

They flew from VOR to VOR, using radio frequencies and magnetic instruments to fly from one to another.

Hi Mark,
So I got the nav/gps switch installed next to the AP but it won't follow a GPS  flight path. I loaded a previous flight plan and it showed up on the GPS . I  engaged the AP in manual mode and flipped the switch to GPS. So I obviously missed something? Thanks for all your help.

Brian

Hi, Brian. You have to switch your autopilot to NAV/LOC also change your Flight director setting to NAV/LOC. Hope this helps!

yes, that did it. It tracks perfectly now with the flight director and AP on nav/loc. Thanks much.
