Hello everybody!
Those of you using the HSFX modpack probably have noticed the control panel of the Automatic Flight Control Equipment C-1 (AFCE C-1) autopilot system in the cockpit of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator (right above the throttle quadrant).
If not, here's a screenshot

The original control panel looks like this:

Unfortunately this piece of equipment did not make it into the game, just the ominous 'level stabilizer' is implemented.
Well, here is my replica of the C-1 autopilot system:
Version 1.1

Version 2.1

Many thanks to 'Sita' who allowed me to use his textures of the control panel. The C-1 version 2.1 is, except for the new textures, identically equal to the version 1.1. Your monitor needs to have a vertical resolution of at least 800 pixels to display the control panel correctly.

The C-1 communicates with IL-2 1946 via DeviceLink and can be used on the same computer the game is running on or on a second computer in your local network (a laptop for example). Some important parts of DeviceLink-output are deactivated while playing online. If you wish to use the C-1 online you need the mod DeviceLink_2_2 by Fireball (already included in the AFCE C-1 zip-archive).
All switches and turning knobs on the C-1 control panel are fully functional and animated and can be operated by mouse or freely assigned hotkeys.
This autopilot is, just like the original one from 1943, capable of holding a straight and level flight and can perform coordinated turns without intervention of the pilot. The replica of the C-1 is not limited to the B-24 and B-17, it can be used to control all bombers we have in the game! Since the C-1 is designed to assist bomberpilots it can not be used to control fighter aircraft. A fighter in this sense is a single engined, single seated airplane.
Have a look into the manual to learn more about the C-1 autopilot and how to use it on bombing missions.
Tested on 4.10.1m and 4.11.1m. Suggestions and critique welcome!
