GPS

Hey everyone.
I have a question. Is their any way I can add a GPS to the Virtual panel in the M.A.A.M B25.
The existing panel works good, but every time I want to look at the plane from the outside, or take screenshots I have to open the GPS again in the cockpit.
What I would like to do, is add a GPS like A2A added to the C172, I can add a GPS to the windscreen.
Is something like this possible for other aircraft.
Thank You.
Amanda.
 
If it is an FSX native model with 3D gauges then no you can not.

If it is an FS9 port then maybe but in most cases all you can do is swap gauges which may not work out too well.

The better option maybe to tell the GPS to be open all the time unless you close it. Change Visible=0 to Visible=1 in the GPS window section of the panel config

Below is the default C172 panel entry for the GPS window. Note Visible=0.

[Window02]
size_mm=456,378
window_size=0.5
position=8
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
VISIBLE=0
ident=GPS_PANEL
zorder=4

gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0

By changing that to a 1 every time you switch views the GPS will open up if closed.

You could also simply undock the GPS window and move it to a second monitor (if not in Full Screen mode).

Thank you Dave.
I'll do that.

adding to the subject (not what the OP asked but somehow related).
Whichever window you want to keep open, even if you switch views use "type=special" for that window.

[Window07]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,768
pixel_size=1024,768
window_pos= 0.000, 0.2
position=0
visible=0
ident=53
sizable=0
nomenu=1
type=special
