Hi all,I for the life of me cannot toggle the GPWS (Toggle) switch, I have tried several different hotkeys but It will not show the GPS, I have to click the little icon on the cockpit but this is not always convinient, does anyone else have this issue or a workaround???Many thanks in advance.....

Are you trying to show the GPS in it's popup window?If yes, shift-n (where n = popup window number + 1) will pop up the window.Just try shift-2, shift-3 etc until you get it.

I'm assuming you are asking about showing/hiding the GPS window. The default for the panles is Shift+(1...9). IIRC the GPS panel is Shift+5, but you can check easily your configuration.Cheers,- jahman.

I'll assume you're asking what key opens the GPS window?The previous posters partially answered the question... IF the aircraft has a gps window, then shift+(some number) should open it. There is NO consistent number used by developers. The most common are 2,3, or 4.But the easiest way to find out is to try Shift+0 (zero) which isn't a normal option or Shift+9 which is rarely used.. you should get the error message on the screen saying that only keys 1 through (something) are assigned and beside each number listed is the function for the number. If a gps is available, you should see it listed - and that is the number you use in THAT aircraft.I prefer always having radios on shift+2, and GPS on shfift+3. The ONLY way to make this true for all aircraft is to reorder the windows in each panel config, so that GPS, if there is one, is always window02, which you open with Shift+3.DO make a backup of the panel.cfg before you start editing or you may regret it...even with the greatest of care, accidents do happen.Loyd
