Hi BryanEverything works fine, now that I finally configured how to switch the Main Panel on.Only slight glitch I have, and it may be down to me, is, having programmed my MS SideWinder FF2 joystick's hatswitch buttons 3+4 to be my Main Button and Secondary Button as per your instructions, when in flight, and only in flight, when I select either button 3 or 4, I immediately get an AP disconnect and have to re-connect the AP manually from the MCP.Same thing also occurs when using the MD-11, and all this has only just started since I had to do a complete FSX re-install.Thanks.

Not really an FS2Crew issue,but you may have your buttons mapped to a keyboard command that disengages the autopilot.Or you're somehow wiggling your joystick a bit triggering a disconnect... try increasing your joystick's null zone.

Thanks for that Bryan. Initially, I did not think it was FS2Crew related but as it also happened with the Button version for the MD-11, I thought maybe it was related. What puzzled me was that using FSUIPC and having set the Misc section to clear joystick spikes, I still got the AP disconnect, and I do not do any excessive 'wiggling'. Just hold steady, press Main Button or Secondary Button. So, I'll look elsewhere.
