About This File
FS2004 Sperry 177 Mod For The Tinmouse II 732. This package includes the files and installation procedures for a modification of the Tinmouse II Boeing 737-200 panel to add a Sperry 177 FCU autopilot to the panel without the need to fully replace the entire panel. While the Tinmouse II panel is simply one of the best freeware 2D panels ever created, a number of pilots have expressed a desire for a replacement of the Sperry 77 (CWS) autopilot with the Sperry 177 (dials and digits) autopilot. The previous Sperry 177 modification released had many of the elements of a Sperry 177, but did not entire look or function like a Sperry 177 FCU. This version (2.1) corrects many of these issues, and should bring an entirely new level of realism to your Tinmouse II panel over the v1.0 modification. Here's the list of corrections and improvements implemented in the v2.1 package over v1 and v2: Actual Sperry 177 layout and functionality, course knob now fully functional and works in synergy with gyro course knob, panel refresh rate now accurate and smooth (no "click delay"), VOR LOC button drives the FS NAV1 Lock button, LNAV turns on the GPS Drives NAV1 signal, and an optional Sperry 177 full MCP layout or condensed with FD layout. This package requires the latest Tinmouse II aircraft and panel, which at the time of this release was v1.26. Files TINMOUSE_II_V1_25.ZIP and TINMOUSE_II_V1_26.ZIP are required. By Mark McCoy.
