You can just copy one and insert the correct reference. I keep them in a folder named "TOGGLES" in my gauge folder. gauge05=TOGGLES!ToggleWxAdvantage, 0,48,513,450 With this setup, you can click the top bezel of the display where it says "Avidyne" and get the Avidyne pop-up. Click anywhere in on the screen to get the radar pop-up.

Altered the panel file as above but not getting the gauge up on the vc panel. not to sure re copy one and insert correct references. I'm using P3D. many thanks..bob

April 2, 20179 yr An APU (auxiliary power unit) is usually installed in the aircraft. Ground power is the GPU.

In U.S. military nomenclature, GPU is often referred to as APU...creates confusion with people of different backgrounds. I would presume no one is searching for a turbine-powered APU on the Cheyenne.

That's really confusing, not only with people of different backgrounds. What's an actual APU on e.g. the C-130 or the C-5 being called in the U.S. military?

What's an actual APU on e.g. the C-130 or the C-5 being called in the U.S. military? In Naval Aviation an Auxilary Power Unit (APU) mounted within the airframe and controlled by the aircrew is called an APU. A Ground Power Unit (GPU) not mounted within the airframe and controlled by ground personnel is called a GPU.

You can just copy one and insert the correct reference. I keep them in a folder named "TOGGLES" in my gauge folder. Just a bit confused with this. Regards Kym Rather than have to open the Wx Radar pop-up by a double keystroke or a pull-down menu, you can set up a toggle such that you only have to point and click on the vc radar screen to get the pop-up. 1. Open a new text document using NotePad or some other text editor. 2. Paste the following into the document: <Gauge Name="Toggle71" Version="1.0"> <Image Name="iconpanel_background.bmp"/> <Mouse> <Area Left="0" Top="0" Width="30" Height="30"> <Cursor Type="Hand" /> <Click>71 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)</Click> </Area> </Mouse> </Gauge> 3. Save the document as "ToggleWxAdvantage.xml" 4. Make a new folder named "TOGGLES" and place the "ToggleWxAdvantage.xml" file inside it. 5. Place the "TOGGLES" folder in your gauges folder. 6. Find the file "iconpanel_background.bmp" in one of your Carenado airplanes. Copy and Paste it into the "TOGGLES" folder. 7. Insert the following entry under [Vcockpit03] in the panel file. "gauge05=TOGGLES!ToggleWxAdvantage, 0,48,513,450" Start the simulator and select the Cheyenne. You should now have a working toggle for your Radar.
