 ## Set specific values for your aircraft
146 150
 Specifics values for aircraft can be set via the aircraft configuration, in the `<instrumentation>` section, just add a section `<zkv1000>` and set here the needed values.
147 151
 
152
+### Adjust size to  the panel of your aircraft
153
+To increase or decrease the size of all the devices (PFDs and MFDs) you can use a factor property, eg. in the DA42:
154
+
155
+        <size-factor type="double">1.19</size-factor>
156
+
157
+Defaults to 1 if you don't provide this information. Values lower than 1 decreaase size, and higher than 1 increase the size.
158
+
159
+### Make your instrument auto powered on
160
+Let say you want your PFD and MFD switched on as soon as the electrical system allows it. Set your device with the following
161
+
162
+        <auto-power type="bool">1</auto-power>
163
+
164
+Then you need to set the property `/instrumentation/zkv1000/serviceable` by the mean you want, as soon as it property is `true` the zkv1000 will automagically switch on.

 ### Vspeeds
149 167
 To see the Vspeeds bugs or the IAS background color change (Vne), set the corresponding V-speeds in knots by adding in your `<instrumentation><zkv1000>` section the following lines (here are the numbers for the Lancair-235, ![][warning] values are not to be used in real life).

+## Autopilot
280
+For now there is only one autopilot system supported: the Octal450's STEC 55X (and at time of writing only HDG mode is available).
281
+
282
+To make it available you have to follow the installation rules of the device [on its own page](http://wiki.flightgear.org/S-TEC_55X). The zkv1000 will find it by its own and make it available.
283
+
284
+This STEC55X autopilot system would remain shipped in the zkv1000 as it is described in the documentation of Cirrus Perspective SR2x, but the zkv1000 will in near future let you create your own and make its choice depending of the availibilities or property set.

 ## Map tiles origin
262 287
 By defaults the maps tiles come from `https://maps.wikimedia.org`, type `osm-intl` (please read [https://www.wikimedia.org/wiki/Maps]()), but you can choose your favorite one if you've got one. I've tested `opentopomap.org` and `thunderforest.com` (my favourite).
263 288
 You can tell the zkv1000 the tile server, type and eventually apikey by using `--prop:` option while starting FlightGear session:
