I installed a new panel into a DeHavilland C7 and DCH4. The problem I am having is in the autopilot. The altitude settings change by 1,000 foot increments. The heading and course settings change by 10 degree increments. I heard once that there is a fix for this. But I cannot remember what it was. Can someone help me?

where did you find this aftermarket panel?? Link to page, and file name would be nice, so that we can check it out and see exactly what you are seeing.

I found the same thing in a few airplanes. Try picturing the altitude knob divided into four quadrants. Then click, say, the upper right quadrant and see what happens. I've found that that results in heading changes of 10-degree increments, while clicking the lower right quadrant gives 1-degree changes.

I will give that a try and let you know if I was successful.

I tried that but I couldn't get it to work right. I fear I must look for a different panel with which I can live.

FSUIPC will fix it.

I have a registered FSUIPC installed. What I need to know is in what section I can find the fix. I have never run into this problem before so I haven't the foggiest idea how to fix it.

On the Miscellaneous tab put a check next to Fix Control Acceleration
