You didn't say which aircraft your dad is flying, but you can resize the radio stack (just drag the corner) for those aircraft with the AP in the radio stack. He can then make it as large as he wishes.
On aircraft with the AP on the panel, here's a hack that may help:
Edit panel.cfg (in the aircraft's \panel folder (be sure make a backup first) and add under
window05=Autopilot2
(note that window05 should be the next highest number there)
Then add:
BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2
size_mm=156,45
position=8
visible=0
ident=RADIO_STACK_PANEL
gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 0, 0
(again, note that Window05 should reflect the next highest number and correspond to the Window Titles entry)
Save the file and start FS2K2 again. Once you're in the cockpit of the aircraft that you edited the panel for, you can call up the AP with shift + 6 (in this example -- the key combo is one more than entry number). He an then resize the AP window to control the AP from this new window.
Hope this helps!
