GPS's not Working
The beaver's GPS's are not showing in P3D v4.1. I select the MilViz 530/430 in the MVAMS, but all I get in the sim when using the beaver amphibian is just the COM radios.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Caleb , can you tell me if the Aircraft.cfg is being written with the panel= having the selected option ? , also is the aircraft installed on a different drive or location than Simobjects/Aircraft .
Thanks CJ

The Aircraft.cfg was showing the "panel=" as blank, so I changed it to "panel=mv530_430_wx" and it worked. I had the gauges I wanted. So I figured things would be easier if I just installed the beaver into the P3D v4.1 root directory instead of an external folder. So I did that and everything works as normal now. The MVAMS now can control the GPSs fine. The GNSs work fine, but the knobs on the weather radar wouldn't even turn when I scroll my scroll wheel on them. Any ideas on this would be greatly appriciated. Thanks very much.

Re: GPS's not Working
Are you using FSX or P3D? If P3D, is the aircraft installed in the P3D root folder or in a external folder using the add-on.xml procedure? If in an external folder, that might be the cause of you GPSs not working. With the external folder procedure the MVAMS won't be able to control the aircraft at all. You would need to go to the aircraft.cfg and manually set the "panel=" entries to the panel you want. (Take the text from the panel folder name after the "panel." in the folder name, then put that right after the "=" in "panel=" in the aircraft .cfg file file for each livery. You will need to do this in each model's "aircraft.cfg.) Installing in the P3D root directory is the best thing to do for MilViz planes. Do the GPSs show up and not work, or do they not show up at all?

Re: GPS's not Working
The F1 units are Flight 1 avionics addons. If you have purchased them, installed them and have them working already, you can use them in the DHC-2.
