FS9 GPS 500 MSG Button

Featured Replies

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to stop the MSG button on the default FS9 Garmin GPS 500 from blinking almost constantly? The only message it ever gives is either you are already in, or about to be in, "airspace". As aircraft operating under instrument flight rules (IFR) are almost always in controlled airspace, I find this "feature" to be useless and annoying. I certainly would appreciate having a way to turn it off.

Press and hold the MSG button for a few seconds and it will turn off the messages.Todd
