ok, i dont know if this is the right place to post this question but here goes..i know its not real to have GPS in a WWII bird..but seen as though this is 2004 and not 1943 i suppose i could use the GPS...but how do i get it to show as many of my WWII birds dont have any buttons to click on...and i cant find any key assignments in FS2004 to bring it up...so if anyone knows if i can get the GPS to show in WWII birds...by either modifing something or something really simple..please share

Thanks

Well, this should have gone in the Panel/Scenery forum, but oh, well.

I would recommend that you find a very usefull program called CfgEdit, which is a visual panel editor.

cheers ender...i know its the wrong forum..i didnt really check what forum it was going in..but i did state i didnt know if it was the right place to post

Pardon my ignorance but as i recall i 've added and changed the FS9 GPS in several FS9 panels using only Notepad. Here's some from my B350 panel.cfg

// gauge58=SimIcons!GPS Icon, 595, 5

// [Window02]
//size_mm=456,378
size_mm=545,354
window_size=0.5,0.3625
//window_size=0.5
position=8
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
VISIBLE=0
ident=GPS_PANEL

//gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500,            0,0
gauge00=fs9gps!gps_295,            0,0

// [Window02]
// size_mm=456,378
// window_size=0.5
// position=8
// BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
// VISIBLE=0
// ident=GPS_PANEL

// gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500,            0,0

as mentioned, i know nothing about it but CAN get either GPS to work in any FS9 panel. it's just a matter of dicking around with the panel.cfg entries until the desired result is achieved . . . much like flying an airplane
