DH-2 Beaver GPS / WS Popup Panel Not Working

[majorjg]

I'm trying to modify the panel.cfg file located in FSX\SimOjbects\Airplanes\DHC-2 Beaver Milviz\panel\panel.cfg so that I can have a popup for the default Milviz GPS GNS530 and the WX Radar.
I was copying code suggested in this forum to accomplish this, but I'm not getting it work. If someone can help me by looking at my code below and making some suggestions that would be great.

Window00=Main Panel
Window01=WX Radar
Window02=GPS

Simple fix would be to change the "i" in the gauge name to "1" (number one).

FBS_GN530_1d

Hi Bill,

I made the change you suggested to Window02, code is below. When I start up the Beaver and turn on the GPS, nothing happens when I try Shift + 3 to see if the GPS will display a pop-up but no luck. I also tried clicking on the GPS bezel to see if a popup will come up, but still not luck as well.

gauge00=..\panel\Milviz_GPS!FBS_GN530_1d,0,0,500,366

Hm, I just now noticed that you had written:

I'm trying to modify the panel.cfg file located in FSX\SimOjbects\Airplanes\DHC-2 Beaver Milviz\panel\panel.cfg

If that is the panel.cfg file you have been editing, that is the wrong file...

Each of the various avionics combinations has its own panel.cfg file, and it that one which you must edit. Unfortunately I'm still in the middle of reconstructing my entire development computer and sim computer platform, so I don't have ready access to my local installation of the Beaver.

If I recall correctly though, it should be the ..\panel.mv530_wx folder (or similar).
