Missing GPS in Flight One P-51D

There's an icon in the cockpit but when I press it, nothing comes up. Has a fix been posted for this? Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Should be easy to correct yourself. I don't have that plane, so I can't be certain, but if you look in the panel.cfg, there are only a couple of things you need to get a GPS pop-up working. (Assuming the plane uses the default GPS gauge)

First, at the top of the panel.cfg, it should look something like this:

// Panel Configuration file
// Beech Baron 58
// Copyright (c) 2001-2003 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=Radio Stack
Window02=GPS
Window03=Throttle Quadrant
Window04=Compass
Window05=Mini Panel

In this case, Window02 is the GPS window. So scroll down the panel.cfg and find the Window02 entry. In the default Baron it looks like this:

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

gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0

Since you already have a GPS icon to click on, these two pieces should be all you need.

Now, have you checked other planes to see it their GPS pops up? Maybe the gauges is missing or broken in the gauges folder?
