Century IIB Autopilot and Lateral Guidance System for FS2004 and FS-X especialy for the panel of the AA-5 Tiger built before.

My special thanks to Dennis Ciapura for his patient help in aim to make something acceptable.
BUT it's NOT working like the real appliance -  See www.centuryflight.com/manuals/CENTIIB.pdf  -  sorry  ; - ))   and any comment will be welcome.

Installation : 

Extract the FP_C2Bv2.cab file in the general "Gauges" folder .

In the panel.cfg file of the choosen aircraft,  

Cancel*  the line "" or any other containing  "APCentIII"	
	 * to cancel the line : just add an ' after the = as : gaugexx='FP_AA5!APCentIII

and add the lines - as "n" is the last line of the list of gauges :   
gauge[n+1]=FP_C2Bv2!Cent2B, 	X, Y, width, height  -  X and Y the coordinates from the above  left  corner of the panel bitmap
gauge[n+2]=FP_C2Bv2!LGS2, 	X, Y, width, height


Please verify in the aircraft.cfg file, the section 

[autopilot]
autopilot_available=1
...
use_no_default_bank=1
...

The left rocker turns the AP ON as well as pushing "Z" does and without any direct effect.

The roller is working on the ailerons commanding a gentle rolling (3000 on a scale 0-16000.
Normally  it's not necessary to handle the joystick  to avoid a roll over of the aircraft (but what in windy conditions ?).
Any action with the joystick/yoke cancels the rolling.

The right rocker engages the direction hold function in relation with the "lateral guidance button" (here below). If that button is not installed then the direction is locked on the directional gyro bug.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the lateral guidance button :

The rotation knob has four positions : NAV2 - HDG - LOC - REV

As told here above the autocontroler is also working without the "lateral guidance". In that case when pushing HDG only that mode is available.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In this setting the good way to use the appliance is :

Preflight : 
	Turn the main switch ON/OFF  (to fully reset the system - this is not always necessary but .... )
	Anyway : AP switched OFF 
	Rotating knob centered
	Guidance button on HDG = middle

In flight :	1. (Dial the direction - CRS - on the directionnal gyro)
	2. AP switch ON
	3. HDG switch ON
	4. Choose NAV2 -  HDG - LOC - REV

	Modifcication of NAV frequency : click again on the NAV position
				
	IMPORTANT :	In case of LOC or BC mode the aircraft will point to the current HDG till crossing the LOC signal
			While AP already working don't toggle right rocker except to catch the DG bug
			In case of trouble/doubt reset all

License : 

Enjoy it,  copy it,  give it, speak about it .... but don't make money with it  !

Of course I would be happy if you are kind enough - or just honest - to inform me if you redistribute it - the more if you modify it.

For any comment,  trouble,  complain or  idea about this work - especially about the working of the gauge in comparison with the real instrument - please report it to :
