Hi All.
I am a newbie to Simviation and have a question for you guys.
I am using FSX and want to know if it is possible to assign a button to do the following:-
Show/hide GPS window and show/hide Radios.
I am using Saitek yoke, throttles, rudder pedals and instrument panel.
Any suggestions/help will be much appreciated.
Cheers.
Jack.

Welcome Jack,
Yes you can. As Chuck said, goto Settings>Controls. On the 'Button and keys' tab, make the button assignment to the appropriate 'Panel window # (display/hide)' Event.
On most default aircraft the radio stack is 'Panel window 2' and the GPS is 'Panel window 3'.
However, many add-on aircraft do not assign the 'panel windows' in the same order as the default aircraft. This can result in different windows popping up when you press your 'radio' or 'gps' button. This can be 'fixed' by editing the panel.cfg for the aircraft, to change the panel window order.
