Good morning all...

I just downloaded the Spartan from the FSX Download site and she works fine. Even got the raindrops on the windshield to look good.

Went to do a hours cross country and when I finished the Nav I brought up the GPS to see the route.

The GPS took most of my screen. I tried to shrink it down but lost most of the GPS.

Looked to see if there is a fix but can't find one.

Can someone please help me out here as I like to show the GPS route on the 2nd monitor.

Hmmm...that's strange

Which GPS are you using?


Just found this post. Editing your panel.cfg (which should be in the panel.vc folder)


[Window03]
size_mm=456,378 ----------the window size
window_size=0.5 -----------the displayed size - in this case 1/2 of the original
position=8 -----------------the relative position on your screen - see note below
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
VISIBLE=0
ident=GPS_PANEL

gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0

--------

Note the screen is setup in 9 "areas" as follows:

0------1------2
3------4------5
6------7------8

Thanks "paly"...

It is a Garmin GPS500.

Just copied and pasted the setting from your post into my Panel CFG and the GPS works fine in all models.

Thanks again for the help....
