C172 with highly experimental, unfinished 3-D cockpit mockup using
Andy's virtual-panel support. This will give a first taste of flying
with a 3D cockpit, but there are many caveats:
1. Clicking on the instruments doesn't work (waiting for a fix from
Andy).
2. The instruments rotate with the 3D cockpit but they don't tilt with
it (also waiting for a fix from Andy).
3. The orientation is incorrect when the view is not straight-forwards
and the plane is not flying level (waiting for a fix from me, but I
don't understand matrix math well enough).
4. The 3D interior is fairly ugly right now.

This file contains the xml and updated rgb for an APR button on the

As it stands now the NAV locks onto the NAV1 localizer and the APR locks
on to the NAV1 GS (if it exists). I think (and I'm not quite sure) that on a
real autopilot (like the KAP-140) the NAV button will lock on to VOR signals
and the APR is used for locking to localizer/ils for both axiis. But without
having a manual and knowing exactly how this should work, and making further
changes to the autopilot code, this slight modification will make it easier to
lock onto a glideslope on approach.
