JU88 Autopilot 1.07.18301
 

From other contributors I thought setting the JU88 auto-pilot would go something like this:
. start engine
. set Repeater Compass to desired course.
. set the Directional Gyro (DG) to desired course.
. take-off and steer aircraft to desired course.
. engage autopilot - course

Expected the two halves of the DG to line up and steer the desired course. Instead got a course way off my setting.

It appears that to make use of the autopilot in the JU88 you take the following steps:
. set repeater and Magnetic to desired course.
. align aircraft to desired course.
. align the "N" on the DG.
. engage autopilot - course.

Obviously this is a bug. The headings on the DG are irrelevant. Only the N is used as an alignment tool.
