The title says it all, this gauge replaces generic autopilot panel and delivers features like HDG, VS, NAV, APR. All standard autopilot functions from FS9 and FSX default aircafts are available in this gauge. We've even added some features that are not present on classic Bendix/King, but we thought would be useful to be able to control heading or NAV/GPS slaving from this panel.
