Can I put a GPS in the Baron VC?

Postby Censport » Sun May 30, 2010 11:40 pm

The default Baron sorely needs a GPS mounted in the panel. It has a big blank space begging for it:

Can it be done? I've tried by editing the panel.cfg file, but no such luck. Ideas? Suggestions? Am I wasting my time?

I do believe it is pointless.

A short tutorial on VCs:

When the creator of an aircraft (in this case, MS) makes the VC, they create planes for where each gauge or group of gauges goes.

As most of my flying involves using the 2D panel, (to give total access to all the instruments without scrolling), I regularly add extra instruments to to my favourite 2D Panels, via the panel.cfg file, and suitable gauges....easy-peasy!

My Default Baron 58 has a number of extra gauges fitted to the 2D panel.... :)...!

I position them manually, using the X, Y, xx, xx coordinates... ;)...!

Doesn't always work with the VC panels.
