I am glad to hear that the "vector is now work in progress"!   

For your OEM King Air 90 I would suggest having the ability to undock the auto pilot panel from the center consol.

For quite a few years i flew a C90b with almost the same panel as yours.

You even modeled the gutless on a hot day pt6-21 pretty darn good.

Back in the XP11 days I was at one time tired of screwing with P3d to solve problems so I downloaded the XP demo, fired up the C90b and went flying....and was blown away....so I bought XP. I now have XP12 with lots of add-ons and am very happy with it. I'm a retired pilot.

I take you're aware of these modded C90s?

At least on the G1000 version, the AP control panel is mounted on the glareshield.

 

Otherwise, for pedestal mounted APs, I recommend head/face/eye tracking (can be had for free with Opentrack) or assigning the most important functions to the keyboard or controller.
