FS2002 - B737-200 panel v2.1 - upgraded previous FS2000 version for
use with FS2002. This version allows invoking of autopilot on virtual
cockpit screen with use of Shift+6 key. The autopilot is fully
functional and re-sizeable in virtual cockpit mode. It can
also be de-invoked with Shift-6 again.

For use with default to allow autopilot usage in virtual cockpit view, this
this panel file should be used as the B737-400 main panel file,
replacing the file currently used. Advise backup of your current
panel for the 737 if you should wish to switch back.

To install:

Unzip panel into desired aircraft file. (*again, for functionality
of autopilot in virtual cockpit mode, this file should reside
in the B737-400 "panel").

Unzip gauges1 file into main gauges file of FS2002, overwriting
if prompted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The method to invoke autopilot function for other default aircraft:
Suggest you use the following coding to accomplish this:

Under "[Window Titles]"

"window05=autopilot" NOTE: windowXX where XX is the window number you wish to use,
which is usually, the last available. Put it wherever you like, but do NOT use
window00, as this is the main .bmp file window that FS uses.
Do NOT use quotations - for documentation only.

Under "[Window05]" file, encode the following. (*again, whichever window number you
select).

"[Window05]
file=autoback.BMP
size_mm=500
position=0
visible=0
ident=22

gauge00=737-400!Autopilot, 0, 0, 499, 64"

Do NOT use quotations - for documentation only.

For this panel, I created the .bmp file "autoback", 500 X 65 pixels, painted it almost black,
but not completely black. Also, I used the default gauge for the autopilot from the 737-400.
For the 777 or other aircraft, select the autopilot that you wish. The file size should
be 1 less than the .bmp file, so in this case, 499 is 1 less than 500.
