John,

Are you referring to Antti Pankonen's/Dirk Fassbender's FSX 'Cougar' Hover/Auto Pilot? It's the only one I know of.

Can you give a link to the autopilot download you have so I can expand on the specific install instructions included, as necessary.

What helicopter are you adding the autopilot to. If it's an addon, can you provide a link.

Are you familiar with editing panel.cfg and aircraft.cfg files?

Dave

I think you mean this one John,-http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=eh-101+autopilot&categoryId=54

Unzip the download (Rotorcraft-auto-pilot.zip) to a temp location. Open the folder  and dig down 'till you get to the 4 'copy contents.....' folders.

*******Back up the EH-101 aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files before editing********

*In the 'copy contens in aircraft.cfg file' folder....open the 'aircraft.cfg file.txt' file and copy the entire [Autopilot] section. In the EH-101 aircraft.cfg file...if there is an [autopilot] section, replace it with the one you copied. If none, paste the one you copied at the end of the file.

*In the 'copy contents in panel folder of target aircraft' folder you have 2 options. Copy the 2 .gau files to the EH-101\panel folder or..... if you plan on adding the autopilot to other helicopters copy the .gau files to the FSX main Gauges folder.

*In the 'copy contents in panel.cfg of panel folder of target aircraft' folder...open the 'panel.cfg file.txt' file. Copy the line under [Window Titles]. Paste it to the EH-101 panel.cfg file beneath the last line under the [Window Titles] section. Change the xx to the next number in sequence. Copy the entire [Windowxx] section and paste it beneath the last [Window##] section in the EH-101 panel.cfg file. Change the xx to the next number in sequence.

*In the 'copy contents to flight simulator x' folder...Copy the 1 2 .cfg files and paste them into your main FSX folder. Aug 23^rd, 2011 at 8:53am Corrected my typo- there are 2 .cfg files to copy

I don't have the EH-101, but will check out the gauge installation in the default Bell. This places the autopilot in a pop-up window. There is no sim icon for the Autopilot pop-up. It's toggled by [Shift+a number] or from the View menu. I'll look for a sim icon if you'd like to have one.
