It might be better to just add the autopilot until you know the steps
and changes required. On AVSIM do a search on "easy_hap.zip" and you
will find a gage that is easy to install. It says it is for FS2002
helicopters but it works in anything and FS9 as well.

Quick answer: yes.

Find the file below and back it up:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator
9\Aircraft\Douglas_DC3\panel\panel.cfg

Then open it in a text editor and cut and paste everything below to replace
the default DC3 panel.cfg text. Save it and it should be good to go.
