	How to Add Nav Panels Modifying Panels - Lesson #3

Lesson #1, How to add a GPS to your aircraft

Lesson #2, Adding other things to your Panel

Lesson #3, Adding Nav Panels

Lesson #4, Add or change your Mini-Panel

Your plane does not have Auto Pilot or other features and you would like to add them.
Here are some of the Panels that I add to my planes.

Please view and understand the first "How To" instructions before attempting to add these panels.

These panels will not work 100% of the time. Some vintage aircraft do not have Auto Pilot information in the Aircraft.cfg file and you will need to add this info from another aircraft that does have it to make the Auto Pilot work.
Here is the simple Nav Panel window that I use in my Cherokee Six.

[WindowXX] BACKGROUND_COLOR=1,1,0 size_mm= 230 , 260 window_size_ratio=1 position= 0 visible=0 ident=NAV_PANEL gauge00=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 0, 1, 230, 90 gauge01=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 0, 90, 230, 70 gauge02=Lear_45!Nav GPS Switch, 7, 164, 19, 35 gauge03=cessna!Heading_Indicator, 34, 164, 100, 98 gauge04=cessna!VOR1, 137, 167, 90, 88 gauge05=Cessna!Flaps, 0, 203, 34, 55

Here is a panel that I use in the Cessna 152/172.

[WindowXX] file=P38LNav.BMP size_mm= 240 window_size=0.5 position= 0 visible=0 ident=Nav_and_Autopilot gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 1, 1, 117 gauge01=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 120, 1, 117 gauge02=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 2, 120, 45, 117 gauge03=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr, 120, 89, 117 gauge04=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio ADF, 120, 125, 117 gauge05=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Audio, 1, 132, 117 gauge06=Extra-300!Pitch-Trim, 84, 82, 23 gauge07=737-400!Nav GPS Switch, 85, 44, 19 gauge08=Mooney_Bravo!HSI, 1, 59, 75 gauge09=Mooney_Bravo!OMI Lights, 25, 40

Here is one with Gear, Flaps and GPS included.

[WindowXX] BACKGROUND_COLOR=1,1,0 size_mm= 530 , 260 window_size_ratio=1 position= 0 visible=0 ident=NAV_PANEL gauge00=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 0, 0, 230, 90 gauge01=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 0, 90, 230, 70 gauge02=Lear_45!Nav GPS Switch, 0, 163, 19, 34 gauge03=cessna!Heading_Indicator, 36, 162, 100, 98 gauge04=cessna!VOR1, 137, 167, 90, 88 gauge05=lear_45.gear, 0, 202, 37, 57 gauge06=Kingair!Flaps, 20, 160, 20, 42 gauge07=fs9gps!gps_500, 230, 0, 300, 260

Or maybe you would prefer this Auto Pilot.

(Use an Auto Pilot that is consistant with the aircraft)

[WindowXX] BACKGROUND_COLOR=1,1,0 size_mm= 424 , 170 window_size_ratio=1 position= 0 visible=1 ident=NAV_PANEL gauge00=bendix_king_radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 0, 0, 194, 51 gauge01=737-400!Autopilot, 1, 52, 192, 42 gauge02=Lear_45!Nav GPS Switch, 1, 100, 15, 27 gauge03=cessna!Heading_Indicator, 33, 95, 80, 74 gauge04=cessna!VOR1, 113, 95, 80, 74 gauge05=lear_45.gear, 0, 132, 33, 37 gauge06=fs9gps!gps_500, 194, 0, 230, 170 gauge07=Kingair!Flaps, 17, 95, 18, 37
