Mac6737 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I've had success in the past adding a GPS to downloaded planes that don't have one (several Alabeo payware planes, e.g.). But I recently was unable to add one to a freeware P-51, even though I did what I've done before, which is: Open panel.cfg Add a window definition at the top -- such as "Window 03=GPS" Then, right below the last other window, insert text from a functioning GPS in another airplane, like this //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window03] size_mm=456,378 window_size=0.3 position=8 BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0 VISIBLE=0 ident=GPS_PANEL type=special gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0 //--------------------------------------------------------- Save I just did all that, and there's no GPS mapped to any of the Shift + keys. What am I failing to understand? Thanks, all Mac6737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 What was the freeware P-51? Link or zipfile name? If I had to guess....It might be position=8 as the culprit. Try 1 or 2. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac6737 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 OH, NEVER MIND. Somehow, the additional text had not been saved to the panel.cfg file. Now it has been, and it works fine. (Wonder who made the mistake.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfrench Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Is your "Window 03=GPS" in the [Windows Titles] section? e.g. [Window Titles] Window00=Airport Chart Window01=Radio Stack Window02=GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
