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. Compatible with FSX/FS9/P3D/X-Plane (Windows and OSX) [Features] * Complete replacement of default autopilot panel * Heading and altitude hold * Climb/descent with vertical speed hold * Approach / nav hold - works with VOR or ILS (with glideslope) * Additional NAV / GPS slaving switch * Additional setting of HDG hold direction RemoteFlight Server utility is required to establish the connection between Flight Simulator and your device.
