Jarhead1971 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I searched back to 2010 in the FS2004 forum using GPS as the search criteria. I did not find anything close to what I am experiencing. In the Cessna 404 Titan, along with a few other aircraft, when I hit the GPS icon it locks the screen and the sim. I have to ctrl alt delete - switch user, sign out, or restart Windows to do anything. Mouse and keyboard do nothing to exit the sim. In the titan the GPS comes up as half the screen and will not allow me to shrink it to a reasonable size. Anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangdangdoodle Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Seem to remember this problem in FS2004 a decade or more ago, and it went away after I deleted the FS9.cfg file and rebuilt it (i.e. started the sim and allowed it to generate a new FS9.cfg, after which I spent a half hour resetting all my custom values). No idea if this will help with your situation. One more thing, with older addons, make sure that your panel.cfg calls up the FS9 GPS and not the FS2002 one. You can check one of the default planes to identify the name of the correct GPS file. As for inability to resize the GPS panel, no idea.

Jarhead1971 Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Here is how I fixed it so that there is now no longer screen locking: [Window02] Background_color=2,2,2 size_mm=300,220 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=8 visible=0 ident=GPS_PANEL window_size= 0.500, 0.500 window_pos= 0.500, 0.500 gauge00=FS9Garmin!GNS530, 0,0,300,219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangdangdoodle Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Glad you got it fixed by modifying the panel.cfg and using a different GPS. Enjoy! All the best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
