Well, I am presently using the default 747-400 as a testbed for this autopilot panel, so it is redundant, but once it works without hitches I intend to put this on aircraft that have no autopilot that is working.By working I mean the aircraft.cfg have it, the gauges are there in the VC and CFG, but they are not usable.Anyways, my simple 2D panel that is like this:

[Window07]file=Autopilot.bmp  size_mm=592,82window_size_ratio=1.000  //position=0visible=0ident=MISC_POPUP_1window_size= 0.200, 0.125window_pos= 0.690, 0.600gauge00=Boeing747-400!Autothrottle Switch,  16,2,32,48gauge01=Boeing747-400!Flight Director Switch,  14,49,32,40gauge02=Boeing747-400!Autopilot IAS-Mach Switch,  48,4,40,40gauge03=Boeing747-400!Autopilot IAS-Mach Selector,  98,42,48,48gauge04=Boeing747-400!Autopilot IAS-Mach Window,  89,13,60,20gauge05=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Hdg Switch,  156,40,35,40gauge06=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Heading Selector,  191,38,93,56gauge07=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Heading Window,  197,14,60,20gauge08=Boeing747-400!Autopilot VS Switch,  299,40,40,40gauge09=Boeing747-400!Autopilot VS Selector,  370,8,48,72gauge10=Boeing747-400!Autopilot VS Window,  283,15,80,20gauge11=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Altitude Selector,  422,38,48,56gauge12=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Altitude Hold Switch,  470,38,40,40gauge13=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Altitude Window,  422,14,80,20gauge14=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Localizer Switch,  509,  1 ,40,40gauge15=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Approach Switch,  509,41,40,40gauge16=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Master Switch,  553,27,34,32gauge17=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Speed Switch,  47,45,40,40gauge18=Boeing747-400!Autopilot Nav Switch,  156,-1,40,40

All of it works, the position is removed since I have Eyefinity and that borks up everything and makes the panel useless.But the NAV Switch regardless of gauge number, never shows up in FSX.The background is a copy from the default autopilot area on the 747 so nothing special about that.Any tips to how I can crack this riddle?

As a possible solution try changing the 156,-1,40,40 placement and size to 156,1,40,40. I have found that FSX does not seem to like minus coordinates. Let us know if it works please. Bob.

Ah thank you, those coordinates solved the issue.

ok. Glad it worked. Bob.
