The 707 runs fine with the options on Doppler or INS. Just saying that the option on the CWS bank mode leaves the decision at the customer side, while the change for either this OR that mode will lead to unhappy people at one party.
So if it's just about switching the AP gauge or the code for the CWS bank mode, why not include an option in the ACE or just some files to exchange, like on the CS CIVA mod for the 707. You folks are the devs, we're just suggesting things.  Smiley

Well, looking at the poll results so far it seems the CWS is going to stay...

I'm not sure why this has to be a decision between two autopilots. 

I have no access to the code but it seems to me that it should be a fairly simple matter to, at the point where the aircraft heading is determined, have an if-test check the setting of a switch/option and select either the current setting as determined by the CWS, or the current value reported by the heading variable in the FSX SDK.

A small change to the existing autopilot, not the addition of a different one, which would be way too much trouble.

I think he wants to keep this topic, up near the top of the list in the forum. Wink
