I have just bought the Carenado Bonanza F33 (with SP3 ), but I'm not impressed with the GNS430GPS. I usually have my GPS on a separate monitor, so I don't need to try to fit it into the GNS panel slot (and might be able to retain the Nav1, Com1 tuning on the GNS430 !{although I would forgo them if that's what it takes to change the GPS}). How would I go about using the default Garmin GPS 500 from FSX in the Bonanza?TIADavid

I would start by replacing the GPS in the popup window,and seeing if that does what you want..//--------------------------------------------------------[Window01]Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=500,360window_size_ratio=1.000 position=8visible=0ident=794gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0,500,360gauge01=BonF33!Toggle_GPS, 136,45,217,153... and if you do not like the GNS430 in the panel, you can replace it by a NAV1 COM1 radio..//--------------------------------------------------------[Vcockpit04]....//gauge00=CarenadoG430!GNS430_nc1, 6,125,500,266gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 8,128,492,260....etc

Thanks a lot Bert; let you know how I go.CheersDavid

G'day BertI have just got to try your suggested mod.I am completely new to this kind of programming (my last programming was for FFT's in Fortran 70, with a brief excrsion into early C) and have struck a problem:I am following your suggestion to Bob on 18 Nov 2010, and copied the panel folder and called it pane.lxp (still in Simobjects>Airplanes>Carenado BONANZA F33>panel ).I then made the mods you suggested (in Notepad), but when I try to Save the mods, or copy them back into a file in "panel", I get the message "Access Denied !" and "you do not have permission....." " Contact your Administrator", but I AM the Administrator (at least for my computer ). Do I need to convert the Notepad files back into .cfg files? If so, how?My computer has i7- 875, Windows 7 64 bit; my FSX root directory is in Program Files (x86) > Microsoft Games .>Microsoft Flight Simulator X.....(There is also another "Program Files" Directory); I read the BONANZA Files with Notepad and still have a Notepad file called panel in "panel".Any suggestions would be appreciated.David

This is a Windows7 issue.. you need to read up on permissions etc.I'm not the right guy to help - I still run Windows XP
