I have the Service pack. P3dV4.2

If I load GTN650/GTN650 (plus or minus WV it is great.)




However, if I load GTN750/ anything I get a stray 650 on top of it:




I know little about how this works but have copied the two panel configs below which look OK to me.

So - does that mean the GTN configuration file is wrong in some way??

I have noticed that the Default WX panel/Panel.cfg in 20180330.2 is the same as in the SP preview 20180327, while it was changed in 20180329.1 to fix the order of GNS530 and GNS430 in the shift+number popups.
Maybe the other Panel.cfg files reverted back to an older version, too, thus reintroduce this bug? I haven't verified yet.
I read "are back" as "they had been fixed, but reappeared in the final SP", but the threads for the SP previews have been removed, so I can't check when this has been fixed.

I am not sure about having been fixed.

Yesterday morning I had the last interim version before the service pack and it worked fine in the morning and then when I reloaded the aircraft in the evening the floater had reappeared!

I’m also thinking the 650 does fit this aircraft pretty well!

Guys, this entry controls what units are displayed and active in the sim:

gauge08=Console!console_GTN750_650_WX, 0,0,1,1

This loads the specified console_xxx XML file located in the ..\Console sub-folder. In the above case, that will be:
If anything not on that list does show up (floater), then quit the sim and relaunch it because something in memory has become corrupted and is retaining a prior (L:variables) value.

I noticed the click spots for pop up are reversed with the two GTN 650's.

Click the left one and the right one pops up.

And vice versa.

Argh! I thought I'd fixed that darn it all!

I have tried relaunching in various ways and still keep getting a 430 on top of my 750. This is before SP2 but I don't see anything in the change log.

This should be fixed in SP2

Yes seems to be. Great!
