In P3D V 3.4, when I use Shift +2 (GPS) I two GPS devices see attached (C-310 in P3D V3.4)


I thought I would see just one GPS (GNS 5300?) .

Also, I installed the extra liveries (Songbird) and I noticed that they have a freeradio in the texture and panel entries however they don't show in my preview screen until I remove any and all references
to the freeradio entries.

The Popup panel has the same assortment as the VC but you can go to window2 entry put a // in front of the 430 gauge entry to remove it .

The additional paints would seem to have been written with the free panel option installed, as you say removing the listed missing panel folder name resolves the issue.

Thanks for the response. I looked for the window 2 entry you mentioned; unable to locate just what entry you mean. I was looking in the panel.cfg file and saw a lot of 430 gauge entries.

In my window 2:

[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=296,547
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=8
visible=0
ident=10030
window_size= 0.176, 0.514
window_pos= 0.834, 0.486
zorder=2
gauge00=C310_XMLGauges!C310_ThrottleQuad, 0,0,286,547

I also noticed that in MVAMS, I can select the GPS setup I want however if I choose one like as pictureed, I still get two side by side instruments.
Perhaps you could show me just what entry I could // out so that I have just one GPS Showing please. I thing that MVAMs is the master controller
and will allow bothe the 430/530 to show side by side.

Actually, the GPS popup is Shift-2, but [Window01]. I've //commented out the GNS430, but you can also //comment out any of the other avionics you don't want to see on-screen...

I set this window up this way because I wanted to have all of the avionics accessible with a single keypress. I typically undock this window and move it to my side monitor. If I only had a single monitor, I'd open/close it frequently.

Bill,

I copied and pasted above to my main panel and still have 2 side-by-side GPS's. If I monkey with the MAMS GPS selections I'll wind up with no GPS but with what looks like two radio's.
Now I can see in the main panel, a call for the 430 gauge and the 540 gauge and if I // one of them out, they still both show. So, I guess it will remain an enigma...
