P-40 'Civilianized' Mods
Posted: 30 Nov 2012, 16:54
Hey guys, I finished wrapping up the civil Autopilot mod for the P-40. This process should work for the Spit and Mil P-51 as well. Got permission from the author to upload the mod.

A2A Autopilot Mod.
Original autopilot gauge by Jim Robinson.
Modification by TJ Stanley
This Mod was intended to 'civilianize' the A2A WOP3 P-40. It should also work for the Spitfire and Military P-51, or any other plane for that matter.
Install:
Navigate to your WOP3_P40 folder and open the aircraft.cfg. You may wish to make a backup of this file.
Locate the [Radios] section.
Replace with;
[Radios] // available, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1
Com.2=0
Nav.1=1,0,1
Nav.2=0
Adf.1=0
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=0
Locate the [autopilot] section.
Replace with;
[autopilot]
autopilot_available=1
flight_director_available=0
default_vertical_speed=700.000
autothrottle_available=0
pitch_takeoff_ga=8.000
max_pitch= 10.000
max_pitch_acceleration= 1.000
max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt= 2.000
max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt= 1.500
max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt_breakpoint= 20000.000
max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt_breakpoint= 28000.000
max_bank= 25.000
max_bank_acceleration= 1.800
max_bank_velocity= 3.000
max_throttle_rate= 0.100
nav_proportional_control= 9.000
nav_integrator_control= 0.250
nav_derivative_control= 0.000
nav_integrator_boundary= 2.500
nav_derivative_boundary= 0.000
gs_proportional_control= 9.520
gs_integrator_control= 0.260
gs_derivative_control= 0.000
gs_integrator_boundary= 0.700
gs_derivative_boundary= 0.000
yaw_damper_gain= 0.000
default_bank_mode=1
default_pitch_mode=1
Next, open the panel folder and extract dh89a_autopilot.cab to here. Open panel.cfg. Again you may wish to make a backup of this file. I chose to add in the default handheld GPS. You can add it in if you wish as well.
Look at the following [window] sections, and choose which 2 you would like to replace (1 for GPS, 1 for AP) I personally chose [window00] (shift-1 in sim) for the GPS because I did not need to use the cowlflaps indicator popup. I chose [window07] (shift-8 in sim) for the Autopilot. Again you may need to choose different ones if you are installing this to the Spitfire or P-51. You might also wish to rearrange these to your liking. How ever you arrange it, just make sure the [window#] matches to the corresponding [Window Titles] entry.
In this case, replace the [window titles] section with this;
[Window Titles]
Window00=GPS
Window01=Clipboard
Window02=Mini Controls
Window03=Payload and Fuel Manager
Window04=Map
Window05=Radios
Window06=Maintenance Hangar
Window07=autopilot
Window08=none1
Window09=none2
Window10=dbg
Window11=none3
Window12=none4
Locate [window00] section and replace with;
[Window00]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=456,378
pixel_size=456,378
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=2
visible=0
ident=GPS_PANEL
zorder=4
gauge00=gps!gps,0,0,150,250
Locate [Window07] section and replace with;
[Window07]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=462,202
pixel_size=462,202
position=0
visible=0
ident=104
nomenu=1
gauge00=Dh89a_autopilot!nav1_radio, 0,0
gauge01=Dh89a_autopilot!Dh89a_autopilot_hdg, 154,0
gauge02=Dh89a_autopilot!Dh89a_ils, 154,141
gauge03=Dh89a_autopilot!Dh89a_autopilot_main, 306,0
YOu are finished!...go test it out and enjoy.
