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

2. The instruments rotate with the 3D cockpit but they don't tilt with
it (also waiting for a fix from Andy).

don't understand matrix math well enough).

Addition from Jim Wilson
Jim sez:

This file contains the xml and updated rgb for an APR button on the
 autopilot.  It can be used to lock on to the glide slope on an
 ILS aproach.
  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.
