The simplest, would be to add the Cessna 172 GPS switch.You'll have to decide where in the panel it should go, but the format is:gaugeXX=Cessna!Nav GPS Switch, X, Y, Width, Height Example:gauge02=Cessna!Nav GPS Switch, 45, 456, 20, 21

I do not have the 757, so this is a bit of guessing on my part, but you saidyou wanted it in the Radar Panel, I believe, so here is one way..Shift-4 should bring up the panel and the GPS switch will be at the bottom left.[Window03]Background_color=0,0,0 //size_mm=400, 180size_mm=400, 200position=3visible=0zorder=48ident=10146gauge00=Captain_Sim.b757.cp!RADAR_P14, 0, 0, 400, 180gauge01=Cessna!Nav GPS Switch, 0,181,19,19gauge02=Cessna!Nav_GPS_Annunciator, 20,181,19,19A question might be, though: What do you expect the NAV/GPS switch to do in a 757?

Thank you it works :)i am not sure if i need nav/gps button but i read it is necessary for ILS approach at some forums. they say that; "CS 757's default navigation is GPS"I couldn't make an ILS approach so far, even couldn't hear mors code of ILS freq.I set a/p, vor lock and ILS freq. but no sense. i will just try my chance.

The CS 757 uses the FMC, you shouldnt have any problem doing any approaches with it if you have it set up correctly. A GPS isnt even included with the plane, you would have to add one and even then you could only follow in heading mode.

tonight i succeded to capture localizer, but couldn't capture glide slope, so my plane didn't descent. i pushed to nav button and after capturing the localizer , pushed to app button again but did not capture gs :S

First, be sure the runway has an ILS, not just a LOC approach. Next, have your plane slowed down to approach speed 160-170 kts, and finally, intercept the GS from below it. Check the approach plate for the correct altitude. Don't push the APPR button until you are with 1 'dot' of the GS.
