Help : Vor Tracking + GPS Pop UP

Featured Replies

  • Commercial Member

Hi guys,

 

I am new to this, so I may just be missing something basic.

 

When I tune a VOR for example. I tune it in the 2 GPS panels.

 

I get the information in the GPS of the VOR I am tracking, but not the OBI. I want to be able to track VOR's without using the GPS.

 

 

2) When I press the Shift+1 to bring up the GPS, I don't get a simple pop up. The screen moves up and I have a lot of black area also with the pop up

 

Kindest regards,

 

Alex

Alex,

 

To "turn on" the nav heads for the VOR, you'll need to select VLOC mode. Look for a button on the lower left of the GPS units labeled CDI. Click on it, and you should see the display above it change from GPS to VLOC.

 

Not sure what's going on with problem #2. Perhaps a screen shot would give one of us a clue.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Scott

I tried the Vloc and the GPS showed the correct frequency and the VOR, it just left the analogue displays blank [OBI etc]

 

A screenshot will come tonight when I am home!

 

Cheers for your reply Scott, I look forward to your feedback

open the panel.cfg file with notepad

Scroll right down to the bottom.

 

the current 210 entry after the patch look like this.

you can always try to copy another plane entry where window00 work like below: this should also resolve the issue

This is the FSX default C208 entry and I found that this one also work almost always addressing the half black screen.
