No GNS 530 popup window in P3D v4

[macwino]

I just installed the Beaver into P3D v4 using the P3D v4 installer I received by email yesterday. I selected the GNS 530/430 GPS option. The gauges appear in the panel and when you mouse over the 530 it indicates that it can be popped up. However, clicking on the 530 screen or bezel doesn't popup the gauge. FWIW, when I check the panel.cfg, there's no window description for a GPS popup, something which I'm used to seeing when there are popup windows.

Is the GPS popup functional, and if so, how do I get it to work?

Thanks,
Robert

No entry was made in the panel.cfg file for the popup.

Assuming the necessary popup gauge is installed in the gauges folder, what is the text of the window entry to call it up? I have no earlier install to guide me as I never installed the plane in P3D v3.4.

I asked the same in the other thread

See that thread for the answer. Thanks!

So the summary of Bill's solution is below. I changed the panel.cfg in this folder:
\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\DHC-2 Beaver Milviz\panel.mv530_430

This should work for you. You may need to change the WindowXX numbers depending on which panel.cfg file you edit:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=WX Radar
Window02=GPS

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=500,366
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=0
visible=0
ident=GPS_PANEL
window_size= 0.420, 0.460
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000

gauge00=..\panel\Milviz_GPS!FBS_GNS530_1d, 0,0,500,366

Thanks, Eric - worked fine for me for the GNS530 in P3D.

Is it possible to get any of the other gauges (below the GNS) to do that - or do we need a clickable "hotspot" in the model for it to work?

You can either include additional 'gauges' in the same window as the GPS, or create separate "new" windows that may be controlled by the Shift-number key combinations 4 through 9.
