Hi Mickie,
That can sometimes happen if the screen size is changed after the plane has loaded. Try exiting and re-opening X-Plane, then load the Arrow again and open the autopilot pop-up again (it won't stay "popped up" between loads). It should hopefully place the autopilot in the normal spot, just below the Panel selector pop-up menu. In case that doesn't work, you can adjust the default location of the autopilot pop-up window yourself in the "manifest.json" file. Be sure to make a backup first! 0. Save a backup of the Arrow, just in case something goes awry. 1. Open the Arrow's "manifest.json" file in a simple text editor. This file is located in the Arrow's folder. 2. Search for "PIPER_AC_IIIB". 3. Look *above* that, for the two lines "PosX" and "PosY", on lines 2174 and 2175. These are the location, in pixels, of the Autopilot's lower left corner. They default to 100 and 400, respectively. "PosX" is the number of pixels from the left edge of X-Plane's main screen, and "PosY" is the number of pixels up from the bottom of the screen. You could try changing these to see if that helps. Let us know how it goes!

Hello NOJOE, Went step by step per your instructions and there appears to be no "PosX" and "PosY" entries. "clip": 1, "prptnl": 0 }, "Id": 51, "Load": true, "Name": "PIPER_AC_IIIB" }, { "Components": [], "Configuration": { "Alpha": 81, "B": 0.1, Is the lack of these lines my problem and if so what is solution? Thank you for your input. Mickie Mac |

NoJoe,
Found the lines of code you were referring to. I didn't go up far enough. "PinY": 0, "PosX": 100, "PosY": 400, "R": 1, "Scale": 1, "SizeX": 946, "SizeY": 286, "Trim": 0.003, "TrimRateDn": 0.003, "TrimRateUp": 0.003, "Visbl": 0, "clip": 1, "prptnl": 0 }, "Id": 51, "Load": true, "Name": "PIPER_AC_IIIB" }, { Mickie
