       MAAM Sim DC3 and FSX
   DIR By: Bruce Martin

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       On my old PC I used FS9 with my MAAM DC3 and all was good with
       the world. When I got my new Win7 box I only installed FSX. Now
       I have a problem with the auto pilot heading control. On FS9 I
       used the mouse wheel to move the heading bug 1 degree at time,
       clicking on the hdr button moved it 10 degrees at a time.
       In FSX either method moves the heading bug 10 degrees. I
       searched the web but the information I found was mixed and
       confusing. Does anyone here run this combo and if so have you
       found a work around to this bug?
       Thanks folks,
       Bruce

       One way is to replace it with the default Sperry. That's the
       most authentic way.
