Keystrokes for the default GPS

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there are keystrokes you can use to operate the default GPS in FS9 instead of using the mouse. The reason I am asking is that I have a add on control unit that you can program specific buttons with keystrokes making it easier to perform certain FS9 commands..John

I think that on most of the default panels you can use Shift+3 to get the GPS. If you look in the panel.cfg file, there should be a "Window" listing at the top; among these you should find the GPS. Whichever window number it's listed under, add one to that number and use Shift+#. (I think.) :-)Mike Tucson, AZ"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"--Mahatma Gandhi

If you mean operating the buttons on the GPS, not just popping up the window, I don't think they are assigned by default. Going to Options, Controls, Assignments then select All commands, scroll down to the GPS entries and see if they're defined - if not, you can set them to any free key - someone who has used your control unit may have some suggestions as to what to set them to...Best,sg

This can be very easily done.You can assign any key or key combination to any GPS function via the options/settings (or is it called "controls"??)/assingnement menue.Wolfgang
