Hi Zahnart and welcome aboard,
The Direction finder is pretty simple stuff : just select your desired curse and turn your plane until the needle is in the 12h position.
Regarding the auto pilot I never used it but it shd work very basically by holding your heading (possibly linked to the ADI needle - but I am not sure) and your attitude. If I remind well you only then hve to keep the wing level and select your AoA using the AP lever as a trim.
Auto-pilot were not designed for cross country navigation at the time but only to help the pilot at night and in bad weather. Once the auto pilot was engaged the pilot just had to focus on keeping his wing level and monitor the heading : alrdy a great help if you hve to fly in a gusty clouds !
Hve fun and join us asap on MP !
~S!
