Hi there Javier,

Sometimes I've found that in planes, there aren't as many 'pop-up' windows. Have you tried Shift+2? For me, that's worked with some of the smaller aircraft where the engine qudrant has appeared instead of GPS. Can't say I've used the EuroHarmony B1900D much, though.

Sorry if you've already tried that and it doesn't work, I'm just guessing! Hope it works, let me know. :>

[EHM-1821 Javier]

no,it didnt work.nothing showed up.:[

[EHM-1671 Ben]

Hm...

A stupid question: there isn't a button on the panel that you can push so that the GPS will display?

A stupid suggestion: try pushing Shift+[number] from 1 - 9.

[EHM-1821 Javier]

did it too.no luck.

also,i didnt pay attention to those buttons.maybe i missed it.i'll go check it right now.

[EHM-1671 Ben]

Yeah, that might work. There will be a little square button with a satellite dish on it (just in case you don't know what it looks like)

[EHM-1821 Javier]

just tried it.i pressed a dozen times but the GPS just would'nt appear?!

[EHM-1671 Ben]

Maybe it's a problem with the panel itself. If there's another panel for the plane that you can download, I suggest that you do that. Unless, of course, someone smarter than I comes along and gives you some more ideas. Sorry I couldn't help :[

[EHM-1821 Javier]

its ok,thanks! i dont fly it too often though.now that i am busy with the pp event.

hopefully,you could start the event with that plane in JFK.

Regards

[EHM-1671 Ben]

Yeah, I want to start the event but I can't lock the plane in ProPilot because it isn't filed with a destination!

Javier, open up the panel.cfg file, in notepad. (Located in FS9/Aircraft/ehm_b19/panel/panel.cfg).

Find the section called [Window Titles].

It should be like this:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main
Window01=GPS

If you don't have a line saying GPS, then there will be no GPS on the panel. If there isn't, then BACKUP the file first, then add under [Window Titles] a line that says

WindowXX=GPS

Where XX is the next number in the sequence.

Then lower down, below the last [Window YY] and all the gauge lines underneath that, leave a line and then insert the following text:

[WindowXX]
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

and then leave another line. Once again, XX is the next number in the sequence. Save the file, load up FS and the aircraft and press Shift+the number after XX, and your GPS should pop up!

Good luck - if it doesn't work, please ask or revert back to the backup file.

i made those changes but it still wouldnt appear.when i pressed to the outside view not using full screen,i saw that the GPS window was there but it was just blank.and in the cfg file,i found that the panel was actually the one made by Marcello Lugari.has this happened to anyone before?:%

hi Javier !

You should try another airplane, another panel. It is possible that your GPS gauge file is damaged somehow.

[EHM-1617 Iain]

Could you mail me a copy of the panel.cfg file Javier - I can check it out for you if you want. Adress is
